On behalf of all staff members we would like to welcome you to our website and to our school. I hope you find our website helpful in discovering more about us.
At Merryhills, we aim to provide a foundation for life in a happy, high achieving school, where all individuals embody our school values and who can ‘make a difference’ to our local community and wider world. Our children are encouraged to be inquisitive, confident learners who have a love of learning. Staff work to ensure learning is engaging, purposeful, challenging and inclusive in a learning environment which is calm, stimulating and with good behaviour throughout.
We know that children learn best when they feel safe and secure; we believe that your child’s school life is enhanced when there is a shared responsibility between the school and parents for the child’s development as a learner. We hope to work in partnership with you and encourage your involvement in the life of the school.
Merryhills is a Values Based Education Hub school which promotes active, global citizenship. We have an energetic and enthusiastic school parliament which champions pupil voice and strives to provide a positive learning climate in the school.
We place a strong emphasis on the wider curriculum by: offering enriching opportunities throughout the children’s education, participation in arts projects and opportunities to take part in performances and sporting events.
We are a school to which our whole school community, children, staff, parents and governors are proud to belong. We are a proud member of Attigo Academy Trust and work alongside the others schools to enhance the education of all pupils. If you would like to arrange a visit to the school please contact us.
At Merryhills, we are fortunate in having a diverse population which adds richness to our school community. Whilst we celebrate our differences, we also recognise that one thing which is common to all of us is that we live in Britain. As such we recognise the importance of promoting fundamental British Values. We promote these values through our own school values, curriculum and enrichment activities.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
This school is a great school. At moment I am in year six and will soon be going to highlands school. Personally, I thought that the school was awesome after the extension, but now we have iMac's and iPad's. I will miss this school when I go to secondary school but the resources at highlands are unbelievable. I know that this school will have loads of new resources in the future and that's exactly why I will miss this school. The extra curricular activities here are best you can get, also in most schools you wouldn't usually get activities like the ones here. The learning here is great and even better with the teachers at this school because they make it so much fun. All I can say is that the learning is great here.
Overall all I can say is this school is great and everyone should come here.

I have taught here for the previous two years and have been very impressed with the school. Personally, I feel that the expansion has helped improved the quality of learning that takes place within the school as pupils have access to high quality resources. I also feel that the pupils are offered a great range of extracurricular clubs that are not offered at other schools.

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.
