Our Motto: Be wise, together we succeed. This motto is the foundation of our school values and guides everything we do.

Our Vision: At Merton Junior School, we aspire to:

• Develop outstanding future citizens who are Motivated, Enthusiastic, Respectful, Tenacious, Optimistic, and Nurturing (MERTON) lifelong learners.
• Provide outstanding teaching and an exciting curriculum that offers motivating learning opportunities and fosters a love of learning.
• Equip our children with essential life skills, ensuring they face the future with tenacity and optimism.
• Build strong, positive partnerships with parents and the local community, grounded in mutual respect.

Our Ethos: Merton Junior School is an inclusive, friendly, and safe place where everyone is valued. Our approach, vision, values, ethos, and curriculum shape our learners to be motivated, enthusiastic, respectful, tenacious, optimistic, and nurturing individuals. We aim to develop well-rounded citizens who are equipped with the skills and strategies to overcome challenges with positivity, resilience, and a growth mindset, ensuring they are successful and proud of their accomplishments.

Our Curriculum: Our curriculum is enriched with hands-on, practical, real-life experiences. We believe this is vital not only for ensuring each pupil makes excellent progress but also for making school a place that motivates and enthuses our pupils. We strive to ensure that each child is happy, has a positive schooling experience, and makes great memories with us. Making memories is a crucial part of our vision, as it deepens learning and builds on prior knowledge. We design our curriculum with our pupils in mind, putting them first in every decision we make.

Our Commitment to Well-being: We care deeply about every pupil who attends our school. It is essential to us that each child's emotional and mental well-being is supported and nurtured throughout their time with us, enabling them to achieve their full potential and thrive.

Community Engagement: We work closely with our community, parents, governors, and pupils to ensure our vision becomes a reality for all children in our care. Together, we create a supportive and enriching environment where everyone can succeed.
