We believe that stimulating the brain has great benefits to a child’s academic studies.  Every new skill that a child learns, every new and interesting thing that they see or do, develops the brain’s power to work and function more quickly and sharply.  Thus, we adopt a multi-sensory approach to learning where all the senses are fully engaged: lessons will involve seeing, hearing and doing. 

 A full range of educational visits will be developed including a residential activity programme in which a child’s confidence and self-esteem is built upon.

 At the Meredale Independent Primary School we want children to be able to:

• Mix well with others and have good social awareness

• Develop artistic and creative skills and appreciation

• Develop musical appreciation and skills

• Learn from mistakes and adapt behaviour accordingly

• Develop their academic ability to the full

• Develop a good sense of right and wrong

• Develop the ability to be self-disciplined and self motivated

• Develop confidence to approach new challenges
