At Merefield School, we believe that it is every child's entitlement to achieve all that they are capable of achieving. We will strive to create opportunities for all our pupils to shine, to show us what they can do and hopefully to surprise themselves by discovering new talents and abilities. Merefield School is built on shared values of respect, fairness and hard work.
We have the highest possible expectations for all our children and young people and through providing the appropriate care, support and challenge, seek to help every child to meet them.
We want all our pupils to aspire to be the best that they can be and to discover more in themselves than they thought possible. We offer a rich and varied curriculum to cater for the wide variety of interests and needs within the school, which promotes independence, self esteem and achievement for all.
