Growing together to build our future

Respectful  Engaged  Ready

At Merley First School, we believe that children thrive when they feel that they belong. We are a nurturing community where we grow, learn, and succeed together. Our core values—Respectful, Engaged, and Ready—form the foundation for everything we do, preparing our pupils for an exciting and bright future.

Our Vision

We foster a happy, positive environment where high standards of teaching and behaviour are nurtured. We help every child to:

• Develop a lively, enquiring mind and a vivid imagination.

• Acquire the essential knowledge and self-esteem to take on the world.

• Adopt strong moral values rooted in mutual respect and kindness.

Our Commitment

Success is a team effort. We bridge the gap between school and home by:

• Providing a curriculum rich in communication, literacy, and mathematics.

• Forming relationships with parents and carers 

• Maintaining a transparent, collaborative relationship between all community members: staff, parents, and the Local School Committee.

We look forward to working in partnership with you and your child during these foundational years.
