"A wonderful school experience"

I've had a great experience with Merrydale Junior School. My child has thrived in their Year 6 class and the teachers have been very supportive. The school's emphasis on kindness and empathy is something I really appreciate.

"Good, but some areas for improvement"

We moved our child to Merrydale Junior School from another school in the area. While the school has many positives, such as a good catchment area and a supportive staff, we felt that the school's communication with parents could be improved.
