Headteacher's Welcome

A very warm welcome to Merstham Primary School.

It is a privilege to lead such a vibrant and ambitious school at the heart of a diverse and close-knit community. At Merstham, we are passionate about creating a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child is known, valued, and inspired to achieve their full potential — both in the classroom and beyond.

I have a deeply held belief that primary education should not only equip children with strong academic foundations but also give them the confidence, resilience, and curiosity to thrive in life. I want every child to leave Merstham Primary School not just ready for secondary school, but with a sense of pride in who they are, a love of learning, and a wealth of experiences to draw from.

Our curriculum is broad, rich, and ambitious. We are committed to enhancing every child’s cultural capital — through sport, the arts, outdoor learning, visits and visitors, leadership opportunities, and much more. These experiences help shape confident, well-rounded young people with the knowledge and skills to embrace the world around them.

We are fortunate to have a talented, caring and hard-working team of staff who go above and beyond to ensure that all children feel safe, supported and challenged to do their best. Their dedication and high expectations underpin the school’s ethos and success.

Merstham Primary School plays a vital role within our local area, and I am passionate about continually strengthening the relationships we have with families, community organisations, and local partners. By working together, we can provide the best possible education and support for every child — and build a school that our whole community can take pride in.

As part of the GLF Schools Trust, we also benefit from working in partnership with other like-minded schools, sharing expertise and striving for excellence in everything we do.

Whether you are a prospective parent, a returning family, or a member of the wider community, I warmly invite you to visit our school and experience for yourself the warmth, ambition, and care that make Merstham Primary School such a memorable and inspiring place to learn and grow.

Kind regards,

David Keyte
