Mere Green Primary School

[EduCativ]

Mere Green Primary School is an outstanding two form, family orientated school. We are driven to 'make a difference for all our children, through support, nurture and trust. In addition to our mainstream children, we also have 20 places for children with statements for speech, language, and communication from North Birmingham, who have enhanced speech provision across the school day. We are a fully inclusive primary school, which reflects the society in which we live.
Being a member of The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership has ensured outstanding support for all leaders which has ultimately enhanced provision for all our children, staff, and community. Mere Green Primary is fully committed to collaboration and being a member of The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership ensures equality of opportunity and a focus on excellence and innovation like never before.
The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership (ATLP) is a respected multi-academy trust of four primary schools, three secondary schools, five children’s centers, and one teaching school, based in Coleshill, Erdington, and Four Oaks. The ATLP’s academies are home to 4,500 children and more than 700 staff, including outstanding headteachers, specialists, and national leaders. The partnership has a strong moral purpose to improve education standards and achievements for all children in the community. By working in partnership, the ATLP can share resources, expertise and deliver quality education to make an even greater difference where it matters most.
At Mere Green Primary School, we follow the National Curriculum and ensure a broad and balanced curriculum, tailored to the individual needs and interests of the children. We have devised our own ‘personalized’ Mere Green curriculum map and have created a topic-based model which incorporates all of the skills, knowledge, and understanding we want our pupils to learn.
We aspire to deliver and take part in an outstanding standard of education, by this we have created a rich and relevant curriculum that will promote significant growth in student’s knowledge and excellent attitudes to learning. The curriculum is underpinned by strong PSHE and SMSC links which fully support our whole school ethos explores British values and promote high levels of independence. The curriculum will be enriched through high-quality visits and visitors, ‘opening intrigue’ questions and experiences to engage the pupils in their learning.
The topics have been chosen to provide a broad and balanced education, exploiting links between subjects under an ‘umbrella’ theme for each half term. The theme will be evident across children’s work in all subjects and will allow children to direct their learning within the topic. Each theme has opportunities for cross-curricular writing, reading, and maths, making the curriculum more cohesive and ensuring that our high standards are maintained in the core areas when linked to foundation subjects.
At Mere Green we are very proud of our ICT provision. We have a newly refurbished suite which contains 31 touch screen computers. We have also invested in a large number of pads that classes can book and use inside and outside the class daily.
We follow the new Computing Curriculum which provides our children with opportunities to learn more about computer networks, systems, and coding. A weekly Media Club is run after school to encourage those who are enthusiastic to develop their understanding further.
