Introduction to Panaga Middle Years

​

I would like to take the opportunity introduce you to our Panaga School Middle Years. The transition from Primary to Secondary education can be a big step and myself and our Melilas team are hugely excited to embark on this journey with you.

​

At a time when children develop physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially more rapidly than at any other time in their lives, Melilas is perfectly placed to support your child. Research demonstrates clearly the benefits of a middle school education, where children can access specialist teachers and facilities whilst remaining in a smaller, secure environment before moving on in their educational careers.

​

Here at Panaga Middle Years we are here to build on the excellent learning in Primary but we also recognise the need for a distinct identity that reflects the growing maturity of our children in Melilas. We are here to support your child in their growth into confident, independent and successful learners, expecting the highest academic standards whilst continuing to provide the pastoral care your children need at this important time in their lives. Your involvement as parents during your child’s time in Melilas is valued by our team and I would like to thank you in advance for your support.
