At Merton Junior School our values are central to all we do:

 

Our intent is:

• To provide a progressive curriculum which is exciting and challenging, where children experience the opportunity to learn in a wide range of contexts including using concrete and pictorial resources;
• To provide a stimulating learning environment which promotes the full potential of each child through an engaging curriculum which develops academic, social and emotional growth;
• To allow children to make connections through our project led approach which sparks curiosity by raising questions, applying previous learning and building upon progressive skills across the year groups;
• To make memories. This is at the heart of our vision ensuring that children have enriching, exciting and equal opportunities to explore the world in which we live and become life-long learners;

Every child at Merton Junior School is recognised as a unique individual. We celebrate and welcome differences within our school community. The ability to learn is underpinned by the teaching of skills, knowledge, concepts and values. We aim to provide exciting opportunities to engage learning and believe that all children should be actively involved and challenged within their learning.

Within our curriculum we recognise that the children need to value themselves whilst developing aspirations for their future and for their community. We are passionate that all children realise that it is a big and wonderful world out there and when they leave us they are ready for the next chapter of their journey.

In recognising the development of the whole child, the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of the children is supported across the school to ensure that they are in a positive mind-set to be able to access the curriculum. The school has various systems, in and out of the classroom, which support the emotional and mental well-being of children and signposts parents to external support when necessary, seeking the involvement of a range of agencies. Our staff are particularly warm and nurturing; relationships across the school are exceptionally strong.

If you have any questions regarding our curriculum, please do not hesitate to contact a member of staff who can assist you.
