About Mereside Primary Academy

Mereside Primary Academy caters for children aged 2-11 in a large, modern building located in spacious grounds. As a school we seek to provide an all-round education for children in a calm and nurturing environment. We have the highest expectations of pupil attainment, teacher performance and parental involvement and we encourage everyone to strive for excellence, in order to achieve potential.

We pride ourselves in knowing our children incredibly well and use this knowledge to motivate, encourage and care for them throughout their time at our school. Children here are at the heart of all we do and we continually strive to help each child find their strengths and talents so that they will flourish and be challenged. “The school is ambitious for pupils to achieve well” (Ofsted July 2024)

At Mereside, our motto is ‘Learning Together, Achieving Together’ which demonstrates our commitment with pupils, parents, staff, governors and the local community to nurture a culture of lifelong learning for all. Our children have access to creative, sporting, musical and cultural opportunities with a variety of extra-curricular activities. “This school is central to the local community that it serves. Pupils are happy and enjoy coming to school…pupils trust their teachers to care for them, including when they need comfort or reassurance” (Ofsted July 2024)

All of our work revolves around our three school ‘bees’ which includes our own hive and is incorporated throughout our Mereside Way which both children and staff live by. ‘Be kind, Be safe, Be ready’ is implemented every minute, every day and supported by our very strong pastoral team who ensure that the care, guidance and support our children receive is second to none and enables all children to be ready for their next stage of education. “Pupil behave well during lessons and around school. Staff encourage them to behave sensibly and to treat others with respect…pupils’ behaviour is addressed sensitively and effectively” (Ofsted July 2024)
