Our School Values and Ethos
At Merrylands Primary School and Nursery, we believe passionately in the importance of recognising every child as a unique individual.
We actively promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
We nurture the growth of the whole child academically, socially, emotionally, morally and physically, celebrating all achievements in a safe, caring and creative environment.
Personal development is an essential part of any child’s education and at Merrylands Primary School the curriculum actively promotes ‘Growth Through Learning’. This allows children to develop skills needed for tomorrow and a positive attitude to learning, preparing the children for their next steps in the world. These include self-management, innovative thinking, and communication. Across school, children will be encouraged to ask questions, maintain high expectations of themselves and one another, overcome challenges with resilience and determination in a safe and stimulating setting.
