Meres School is a beautiful school — very green, spacious, and well maintained — offering an ideal environment for learning. The children enjoy the space and learn a great deal thanks to a motivating atmosphere and facilities that encourage both wellbeing and study. A school that is beautiful on the outside and outstanding on the inside.

Without a doubt, the best choice I could have made for my children. I will always be grateful for both the academic education and the personal support they received throughout their school years. A fantastic team of people and a wonderful environment.

In addition to providing an excellent educational standard in every respect, the school also gives great importance to the emotional wellbeing of its pupils, from the early years in Nursery right through to the end of Sixth Form. Students and teachers spend many hours together, creating a close-knit community that feels like a family built over many years.

Pequeños trazos, grandes aprendizajes ✏️

En Meres, el comienzo de la lectoescritura es un proceso de descubrimiento. Antes de llenar cuadernos, experimentamos, jugamos y practicamos de muchas formas diferentes.

Las pizarras nos permiten iniciarnos en los primeros trazos y letras de una manera dinámica: escribir, borrar, probar de nuevo… y aprender disfrutando del proceso.

Porque cada línea, cada letra y cada pequeño avance nos acerca un poquito más al maravilloso mundo de la lectura y la escritura. 💙

Small marks, big learning ✏️

At Meres, the first steps into reading and writing are all about discovery. Before filling notebooks, our pupils experiment, play and practise in many different ways.

Whiteboards allow them to explore their first strokes and letters in a dynamic way: write, erase, try again… and enjoy the learning process.

Because every line, every letter and every small achievement brings them one step closer to the wonderful world of reading and writing. 💙

Después de meses de trabajo, investigación, preguntas y mucho aprendizaje, nuestros alumnos de 6º compartieron sus proyectos (PYP) con sus familias.

Un momento muy especial en el que pudieron explicar con su propia voz todo lo que han descubierto, cómo lo han trabajado y qué les ha hecho reflexionar durante este proceso.

En este reel escuchamos también a quienes les acompañan desde cerca: una hermana mayor y dos mamás que les animan a seguir investigando, a mantener la curiosidad y a sentirse orgullosos de todo lo que han conseguido.

Porque aprender no es solo llegar a una respuesta. También es hacerse preguntas, mirar el mundo con criterio y atreverse a compartirlo con los demás.

Recreo, Educación Física… y si hace falta, siesta en el bus.
La lista de cosas favoritas del cole está bastante clara. 💛

En Infantil lo tienen todo muy bien ordenado: primero jugar, después moverse, aprender, compartir… y, por supuesto, estar siempre de acuerdo con el compañero.

Porque cuando uno dice “me gusta”, el otro responde: “y a mí también”.
Y así, entre risas, conversaciones espontáneas y mucha sinceridad, nos recuerdan que el cole también se cuenta mejor desde su mirada.

Playtime, PE… and, when needed, a little nap on the bus.
Their list of favourite things about school is very clear. 💛

In Early Years, they have their priorities perfectly sorted: first playing, then moving, learning, sharing… and, of course, always agreeing with your friend.

Because when one says “I like it”, the other replies: “me too”.
And just like that, through laughter, spontaneous conversations and plenty of honesty, they remind us that school is sometimes best explained through their eyes.

Les dejamos la cámara… y esto fue lo que pasó. 💛

A veces, para ver el cole de verdad, solo hay que mirar desde su altura.

Sus rincones favoritos, sus profes, sus compañeros, los pequeños momentos del día a día… Todo contado desde esa mirada tan suya: espontánea, curiosa y llena de vida.

Porque cuando los niños fotografían su mundo, aparecen cosas que los adultos muchas veces no vemos.

Y en Meres, también aprendemos así: observando, creando y compartiendo.

We gave them the camera… and this is what happened. 💛

Sometimes, to truly see the school, you just have to look at it from their height.

Their favourite corners, their teachers, their classmates, the small moments of everyday life… all told through their own eyes: spontaneous, curious and full of life.

Because when children photograph their world, they capture things that adults often miss.

And at Meres, this is also how we learn: by observing, creating and sharing.

En el día a día del colegio, el comedor es mucho más que el lugar donde se come. Es ese momento de pausa, de compartir mesa, de probar cosas nuevas, de hablar con los compañeros y de sentirse cuidado.

En Meres contamos con cocina propia, y eso también forma parte de esa sensación de cercanía: cuidar lo que comen, cómo lo viven y cómo se sienten.

Porque estar en el cole también puede parecerse un poco a estar en casa.

In the everyday life of the school, the dining room is much more than a place to eat. It is a moment to pause, to share a table, to try new things, to talk with classmates and to feel cared for.

At Meres, we have our own kitchen, and that is also part of this sense of closeness: caring about what they eat, how they experience it and how they feel.

Because being at school can also feel a little like being at home.
