Ideas of what to include in the card or letter could be writing about your experience of COVID-19, your plans for the future, books or TV shows you enjoy, and tips on passing the time. Once completed students should simply sign off with their name and ‘from Merstham Park’

This week's challenge is a community focused challenge. As many of you will know, as a community school, we work with the Coppice Lea care home to enrich the lives of their residents through the Arts.Your child should create a card or letter to send to a resident at the care home

Learning and Teaching

We provide our students with outstanding resources and support in every aspect of school life, from learning and teaching to staffing and subject specific expertise. The community will benefit from the brand new state of the art facilities tailored to develop students’ unique skill sets. We furnish the school with inviting and interactive classrooms and learning environments, providing fresh opportunities to explore the unknown. This is all be informed by up to date research and initiatives delivered by enthusiastic and passionate staff committed to providing children with the very best education experience.

Our professional learning seeks to make us increasingly research informed, while drawing from our experience in education. We have examined our understanding of learning which, has in turn, shaped our view of what makes 'Great Teaching' at Merstham Park School. This has guided the development of the 'MPS 5 for teaching', a collection of core principles.

The 'MPS 5 for teaching' is not a checklist for a lesson or things we are required to ‘show’ we are doing. “Teachers need to understand theory and evidence of learning and make informed judgements, not comply with rules” (David Weston). It is critical that these principles are shared and understood and then embedded in a meaningful way in the context of our own classrooms.

The 'MPS 5 for teaching' can be seen below:

We encourage students to embrace the 'MPS Learner' traits that we promote. These are reinforced to students through the MPS Learner lessons and assemblies. The 'MPS Learner' traits can be seen below:
