On behalf of all staff members I would like to welcome you to our website and to our school. I hope you find our website helpful in discovering more about us. At Merryhills, we aim to provide a foundation for life in a happy, high achieving school, where all individuals embody our school values and who can make a difference to our local community and wider world.
Our children are encouraged to be inquisitive, confident learners who have a love of learning. Staff work to ensure learning is engaging, purposeful, challenging and inclusive in a learning environment which is calm, stimulating and with good behaviour throughout.
We know that children learn best when they feel safe and secure; we believe that your child's school life is enhanced when there is a shared responsibility between the school and parents for the child's development as a learner. We hope to work in partnership with you and encourage your involvement in the life of the school.
