iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Merrydale I am very proud to be the Headteacher of such an exciting and caring school. We are known in our city for supporting children with special needs. We welcome all children and help them to learn in a supportive and caring school. We give a good education for pupils between the ages of three and seven.
We are a school with many children from homes where English is not their spoken language. No matter what home languages our children speak, they all make very good progress. The school celebrates the many cultures of our pupils and families. It is well respected in our community.
We have strong links with our families and help our parents and carers to support their own and their child's learning needs. Most importantly we are an exciting and happy introduction to school for our children. Mr Mark Tipple-Johnson Welcome to Merrydale I am very proud to be the Headteacher of such an exciting and caring school.
