Be Nice', 'Work Hard' and 'Never Give Up
At Mersey Park Primary School, our mission is to provide a nurturing and engaging learning environment that fosters a life-long love of learning. We believe that every child is unique and deserves to be challenged, encouraged, and supported to reach their full potential. Our school community is built on the values of 'Be Nice', 'Work Hard', and 'Never Give Up', which are central to everything we do.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is designed to be engaging and relevant to our children's lives. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that includes a range of subjects such as Art and Design, Computing & e-Safety, Design Technology, English, Mathematics, Music, Physical Education, Physical Health, and Science. We also place a strong emphasis on Personal, Social, and Health Education (PSHE) and Religious Education.
Our Extra-Curricular Activities
We believe that Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA) play a vital role in enhancing our children's educational experience. We offer a wide range of ECAs, including sports teams, choir, orchestra, and various clubs, which cater to different interests and abilities. These activities provide our children with opportunities to develop new skills, make new friends, and build confidence.
Our Community
At Mersey Park Primary School, we believe that our school is not just a building, but a community. We strive to create a warm and welcoming environment that encourages parental involvement and community engagement. We offer regular events and activities that bring our school community together, such as whole-school productions, family FUN days, and parent-teacher association meetings.
Our Commitment to Safeguarding
The safety and wellbeing of our children is our top priority. We take safeguarding very seriously and have rigorous policies and procedures in place to ensure the protection of our children from harm. Our staff are trained to identify and respond to any safeguarding concerns, and we work closely with external agencies to provide a safe and nurturing environment for all our children.
Our Commitment to British Values
We believe that British Values are essential in shaping our children's moral, social, and cultural development. We promote these values through our curriculum, ethos, and daily practices. Our British Values include:
- Democracy: We encourage our children to participate in decision-making processes and respect the opinions of others.
- Rule of Law: We uphold the law and promote responsible behaviour.
- Individual Liberty: We respect the rights and freedoms of all individuals, and promote tolerance and understanding.
- Mutual Respect: We foster a sense of community and respect for others.
- Participation: We involve our children in decision-making processes and encourage their active participation in the school community.
