Facilities
Junior Department
The Junior department at Merton Court is made up of Year 1 (J2) and Year 2 (J3). There are two forms in each year group with a maximum number of twenty pupils in each. The department provides a successful and seamless transition between Early Years, Foundation Stage and the Senior school (Key Stage 2). There is a strong focus on literacy and numeracy in the department. Children build-up and fine tune the skills attained in previous years. Cursive writing skills, first introduced in Reception, are continually improved and honed. English work starts becoming more formalised with a more defined Grammar, Comprehension and Creative Writing focus.
Senior Department
Thus begins the transition from the Junior School to the Senior School where children are encouraged to take more responsibility for themselves and their learning. The core curriculum is vital and children begin to experience more subject based teaching aided by subject specialists. Smaller group work sessions in English and Maths begin in the first half of the academic year which encourages confidence and progress in key skills. Homework continues with 1 subject per night which should be completed within a twenty minute period. Most children have the opportunity to represent the school in our main sports of rugby, netball, football, swimming and cricket.
