At Melbourne Primary School we are team who inspire children to think beyond their comfort zones and challenge them to be ambitious whilst recognising and respecting individuality.
We work together with the Wonder Learning Partnership to realise our school values in line with those of our Trust. We are committed to educating the whole child and believe that every child should reach their full potential. We know and care for our children and work hard to provide them with a rich offer of experiences and opportunities both in and out of the classroom.
