Welcome from the Head of Primary
Merchants E-ACT Academy Primary is a vibrant, two-form entry school in the heart of Withywood, taking children from three to eleven. We are extremely lucky to be part of an 'all through' school, giving our pupils the opportunity to stay in the same educational setting until they are eighteen.
We aim to give all of our children an excellent education whilst equipping them with the skills they need for life. We are proud to be an extremely nurturing and inclusive school. We value working with our parents and carers in order to give our children the best start possible. We have high expectations of all of our children, encouraging them to follow our school rules of 'Be Ready, Be Respectful and Be Safe'.
We align our school values with the shared values of E-ACT, these are:
- Think Big
- Do the Right Thing
- Team Spirit
Our academy is a caring community that values personal, social, moral and emotional development as well as academic and creative achievement. Our aim is that all children will leave the academy with a wealth of skills and experience acquired through our knowledge rich curriculum. We want children to have a lifelong love of learning.
Our curriculum at Merchants’ E-ACT Primary is engaging and planned to meet the needs of our learners. We have high aspirations for all of our children and encourage them to 'aim high'. PSHE (Personal, Social, Health Education) is woven throughout our work and we keep a strong focus on literacy and numeracy. Our wider curriculum is carefully sequenced and progressive, enabling our children to 'know more' and to 'remember more'.
We believe that children deserve the highest standard of education and we work hard to deliver such high standards every day in a safe and secure environment. Keeping our children safe is at the heart of everything we do and we take all aspects of safeguarding extremely seriously. For further information, please see our safeguarding information on our website. If you have any safeguarding concerns about any aspect of the academy please make an appointment to see me at the office.
I am very proud and honoured to be the headteacher of Merchant’s E-ACT Primary Academy, having started here in May 2024. On behalf of everyone here at the academy, I extend my warmest wishes to you all and hope you enjoy our website.
