Meare Village Primary School
“Our school motto, written by one of our children and voted for by all of our children, encapsulates the school we are. Every day is seen with the potential for new growth and development and the school environment and staff nourish and encourage this every day.
We aim to broaden the children’s outlook, experience and personal development through a range of extra-curricular opportunities, from Forest School, to welcoming vocational visitors, to a range of clubs, to increasing their knowledge of local history, to theatre trips and whole-school immersion days.
Through our broad curriculum we facilitate the best academic progress through carefully sequenced lessons that build on prior learning, teaching them key skills and knowledge along the way, so that they produce high-quality, purposeful outcomes.
Our overall aim is for our children to become responsible, resilient, resourceful, reflective young people who see themselves has having a significant part to play as local, national and global citizens.”
