Welcome to our school community! As the principal of Stanford Merthyr Infants School, I am delighted to welcome you to our website. Here, you can explore the wonderful opportunities our small school offers and discover why we take such pride in being a unique and vibrant learning community.
At Stanford Merther we are commited to nurturing young minds and fostering a love of learning in a safe and supportive environment. We believe that every child is unique and has the potential to achieve great things.
A standout feature of our school is our Garden Kitchen Program, where our STEM curriculum and concepts are tangible and relevant to students daily life. Local Farmer and Educator 'Jesse' and Nutritionist/Dietician 'Carly', work alongside our passionate staff providing all students with opportunities to gain a deep knowedge of sustainablity, horticulture, biodiversity and healthy food choices through growing fruit, vegetables, and herbs in the garden; and cooking with the fresh produce produced.
Our dedicated staff are passionate about providing engaging and innovative learning experiences that cater to the diverse needs of our students.
We aim to create a stimulating environment where curiosity is encouraged, creativity is celebrated, and critical thinking is developed.
Our unique wellbeing program "Coaching Children 2 Cope" aims to equip our students with problem-solving skills and emotional management strategies, preparing them for the challenges of the future.
We are proud of our strong community spirit and the partnerships we build with families. Together, we can create a positive and enriching educational experience for our children. Your involvement is invaluable, and I encourage you to participate in school activities, events, and initiatives that enhance our vibrant school culture.
As we journey through the academic year, we remain focused on our core values of safety, respect and responsibility. These values guide our interactions and help shape our students into confident, compassionate individuals who are ready to embrace the challenges of the future.
