"Igniting a passion for learning"
Cullum Mitchell (Headteacher) presents Merstham Park as a unique, community-focused school where the values of inclusion, collaboration, resilience, respect and success are embedded. He emphasises a broad, inclusive curriculum, the importance of personal outcomes alongside academic achievement, strong partnership with parents, a welcoming atmosphere, and modern facilities and opportunities (clubs, trips, performances). He notes that parents often express satisfaction and that over 94% would recommend the school.
Merstham Park School is a mainstream academy. The SEND Information Report describes the 'Universal Offer' – teaching and learning strategies that are most likely to be effective for all learners, including consideration of cognitive load, attention and sensory processing, use of visual resources and executive functioning. The document notes that all teachers will try universal plus adaptations when needed and that the SENCO is available for contact; Annual Reviews are held for pupils with EHCPs and progress is reported to parents. The school also collaborates with external agencies (Educational Psychology, Specialist Teachers for Inclusive Practice, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, CAMHS, etc.) and uses a cycle of Assess, Plan, Do and Review to monitor and adapt support. The Universal Offer governs what can benefit all learners and where targeted supports may be added.
