We offer an educational experience that aims to address each child as an individual with special gifts and needs. We aim to educate the whole child and to nurture children who are confident in their abilities, successful learners, take pride and responsibility for their community and beyond, and children who can make an effective contribution to society. We set high standards for each individual in both academic & aesthetic attainment and achievement whilst concentrating on developing children who have a love of learning which will stay with them for life.
Merrylee Primary is situated on Friarton Road in a fabulous new state-of-the-art school building. It is also a pleasure to share the campus with Limetree Day Nursery. We are also lucky to be situated next door to the local denominational school, Our Lady of the Annunciation Primary with whom we enjoy developing projects and learning opportunities. The school borders the Merrylee Allotments on which we have our plot where pupils tend the area and grow our produce. This is run by 2 volunteers, George Kay and Alison Sloan, who also enjoy great support from plot holders in their work with the pupils.
We feel privileged to be working within our fabulous new building which is of exceptional design and has all the features necessary for 21st-century education.
