    Having attended merryhills for 7 years I have made loads of friends and learnt so much. They gave a good well rounded education and prepared me for secondary school.All of the teachers are nice and very good at teaching. I was given lots of different opportunities in sport e.g. Football (I went to Tottenham training ground a number of times) Athletics and district sports.The school were very fair and I loved my time at merryhills.

    As a single working mother to a particularly sensitive only child I was delighted with the experience my son had at Merryhills Primary School. In the early years I even received calls if he was upset; the staff went over and above expectation in terms of feedback and support. Additionally I had no choice other than to put him into the breakfast and after school clubs (run by staff and teachers). This was very much an extension of school rather than a separate company, which was invaluable for my son's feeling of security in the early years.

    My child flourished at Merryhills both personally and academically. There are some wonderful teachers and the values of the school encourage inclusivity and achievement in all areas, be it sport, art or academia. I know several parents who placed their first child at another nearby school, however then sent their second child to Merryhills due to the improvements and changes implemented by the Headteacher.

    The school itself has good facilities and lovely grounds. I would recommend it highly as would all the parents I am still in touch with since my son has moved on to secondary school.

    Merryhills is a fantastic school run by an excellent team who truly care about the individual child. I have two very different children with very different abilities and needs and both have absolutely thrived at Merryhills.

    The school itself was expanded a few years ago and now has 3 form entry. The expansion was undertaken sympathetically and has enhanced the school's ethos of helping children learn in the best way for them. This includes a big emphasis on outside-in learning where outside space is fully utilised for both learning and play. There is a dedicated reception area with great classroom resources and all three classes opening on to a large outside classroom and play area.

    This sense of learning for the individual is continued throughout the teaching and management structure. You won't have kids coming home with generic worksheets every day. Within the national curriculum structure, the teaching staff are creative in finding ways to engage children and to stimulate different types of learners. They are happy to expand on topics that have captured that cohort's imagination. For example, at the top end of the school there is 'word' home work where the kids are literally just given a single word to create homework about. Travel, respect, adventure, family, extinct, fear, invention... they can then do whatever they want with that word. Some might write a story or draw a poster, others might bake or cook, board games and lego models have been made. It really is up to the child. A fantastic way to learn and to show the true value of a variety of skills, not just traditional book learning.

    Academic rigour and excellence is still expected and there is a keen sense of competition but that competition is as much about bettering yourself as it is about national targets. This helps the kids achieve their own potential and beyond and to learn different techniques to support that potential. No point getting every child to learn by rote - it might get them through SATS but it won't help with critical thinking and independent learning as they get older.

    Differentiated teaching happens constantly within the classroom and allows each child to learn and to socialise within their peer group whilst having appropriate work set and monitored. There are also many many small groups run across the school by dedicated staff to target different and evolving needs. This includes anything from traditional spelling and grammar focus through to strengthening fine and gross motor skills, supporting EFL students, understanding inference in texts, learning to touch type to help support dyslexic pupils (or those showing similar needs, regardless of a formal diagnosis), art therapy etc. As so many different groups are run right across the ability spectrum, no child feels singled out as needing support in a negative way. Pretty much every child will enjoy tailored groups at some point - it's normal!

    This sense of inclusivity is very obvious from the way the children themselves behave. The school is now a values-based school and the kids have absolutely embraced that - they know what each value means, they know how to apply that value to their own behaviour and to the behaviour of others. This also helps them address any challenges with friendships, learning, sport and signs of bullying which is taken very seriously.

    Sport, art, music and drama form a large part of the school's dynamic. Again, making sure every child has a chance to try new things and to shine.

    One of my children was spotted as having additional learning needs. We were supported through diagnosis, the formal report and its recommendations were acted on immediately, we have regular teacher and support work meetings to update the plan, several strategies are now in place and that child is so much more confident and achieving beyond all expectations as a result of that support. Had we waited until secondary school, they would have been lost.

    Of course no school is perfect and not all school's are right for all children. However, Merryhills is well worth a visit if you can.

    Wonderful school. My two children couldn't be more happy to go in the mornings, always a good sign! Nurturing and caring environment. My children are thriving.
