Could Merdon be the right school for your child?

Choosing a school is an important decision.

As your child moves into the next stage of their education, you will naturally be thinking about where they will be happiest, where they will be challenged and where they will have the opportunity to thrive.

At Merdon, we believe that children thrive when they are supported to develop:

 

As learners.

As people.

And in their role within the world around them.

 

Every child is different, and we would encourage families to come and see Merdon for themselves.

There is no substitute for walking around a school, meeting the people within it and imagining your child there.

We would be delighted to welcome you to Merdon.

 

Come and:

* meet our staff and children

* explore our grounds

* find out more about our approach to learning

* discover our wider curriculum

* see our school in action

* ask the questions that matter to you and your family
