Story
On Wednesday 4th December 2019, arsonists burnt down our forest school classroom including all of the teaching materials and resources inside.
Merridale Primary is passionate about learning outdoors and enjoying nature. Our forest school area and classroom has been developed over the last 10 years into an unique, educational space which is used weekly by our youngest children in nursery and reception to provide enriching activities. Due to the acts of mindless vandals, this can no longer happen, leaving children and staff devastated.
This is particularly upsetting at this time of year as the forest school building, which was burnt down, was due to be used as our Santa's Grotto in the lead up to Christmas.
Help us to raise money to re-develop and re-build this special place for our children.

Walk past your school often. An inner city school with a good OFSTED must be doing lots right. Good luck and I'm sure you will make the target with new first school in time for spring
