Head Teachers Full Message

As the Head Teacher and on behalf of our governors, our staff and most importantly our children, I am very proud to welcome you to Kirk Merrington Primary School.

We strive for excellence and place high emphasis on ensuring all children leaving our school being able to read fluently and with comprehension. We aspire for all children to read for pleasure and have a love of reading.

Our curriculum offers the children enriching opportunities and allows them to develop the knowledge, skills and vocabulary they need to succeed in our ever changing and culturally diverse world.

We are dedicated to being an inclusive school and through our high expectations we ensure all children achieve their potential. Visitors to the school always comment on the high standards of behaviour and the lovely welcome they receive here.

Our school community is based upon positive relationships which are underpinned by mutual respect.

We work in partnership with parents and their support is highly valued. We are a TEAM where Together Everyone Achieves More.

Our children are at the heart of everything we do. We want them to leave us being independent and resilient leaners with our values shining through. They will be proud of their achievements and ready to face their next steps.

Mrs N Murray
