A Rainbow of Values, A Culture of Care

At Mereside, our six core values – Community, Wisdom, Joy, Hope, Peace and Dignity – come together like colours in a rainbow, united by our central value: Love. This isn't just philosophical; it's practical. Every day, you'll work in an environment where these values shape how we teach, how we collaborate, and how we support one another.

What Makes Mereside Special?

At Mereside, love is both the foundation and the goal. Children are supported to love themselves, love others and love learning, creating a cycle of growth, belonging and lifelong curiosity that extends well beyond the classroom.

Our rainbow represents the journey every child takes, earning value badges throughout the year before receiving their final rainbow badge, a symbol of their growth under our loving care. As an educator here, you'll be part of that transformative journey.

Together we grow, united in community.
Curious minds guided with wisdom.
Smiles shared, hearts lifted with joy.
Believing in better tomorrows brings hope.
Calm hearts, kind hands build peace.
Every voice matters, showing dignity.
