We have a highly-skilled, dedicated team of staff who make Florence Melly Community Primary School a very special place…”School leaders are committed to making Florence Melly the best school it can possibly be. Relationships between staff and pupils are exemplary” and “Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the care and support provided by the school’s dedicated staff” (Ofsted, June 2019).
