Aims & Ethos

“Head, hand, heart” is central to the ethos of Merton Court School. We believe this incorporates a holistic approach to the development of the whole child. Our broad based curriculum is built upon a programme of intellectual and physical stimulation alongside emotional and spiritual well-being. Our community is warm and caring in a buzzy atmosphere. Above all our staff and pupils know each other very well.

 

RELATIONSHIPS & HEALTH EDUCATION

At Merton Court, we teach the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships, with particular reference to friendships, family relationships, as well as relationships with other children and with adults.

 

 

 

BRITISH VALUES
Merton Court actively promotes the fundamental values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths or beliefs. These are interpreted, for our youngest children, as learning right from wrong; learning to take turns and share; and challenging negative views and stereotypes. We do not promote views and theories that are contrary to established scientific or historical evidence and explanations. British values are reflected in our personal, social and emotional development policy and in statements on spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
