From the Merrydale Infant School
Being the headteacher of such a dynamic and loving school makes me incredibly proud. In our city, we have a reputation for helping kids with exceptional needs. All kids are welcome, and we encourage their education in a safe and nurturing environment. We provide students between the ages of three and seven a quality education. Many of the students at our school come from households where English is not the primary language. No matter whatever language they speak at home, all of our kids advance very well. The school honours the various cultures represented by its students and families. It is highly regarded in our neighbourhood. We maintain close ties with our families and encourage parents' and carers' efforts to meet both their own and their children's educational needs. Most importantly, we provide our kids with a fun and exciting first day of school. Santander Discovery Our school was visited by volunteers. View what they did to find out.
