Moorland School
Nurturing Young Minds
Seeing our students as an extension of our own family is paramount in the levels of success and happiness we deliver. We actively encourage warmth and respect for all and ensure that we celebrate success at every opportunity. We strive to support cultural differences whilst maintaining a traditional approach to education.
We understand that every child is unique and this should be reflected in their learning journey. We prepare our students academically and socially in preparation for successful and fulfilling lives.
Education
Helping Children Reach Their Full Potential
As a non-selective independent school, we enrol children based upon their behaviour which allows us to ensure that all children learn in a happy environment.
Children are fully assessed when they join Moorland to help us identify any educational differences or special requirements for individual learning styles. We also aim to identify all areas of strength within students. This allows us to deliver teaching that allows each student to reach their academic potential.

🌟🎉 What an incredible day for our Reception Class!
Yesterday, they ventured to the Gruffalo and Friends Clubhouse, where they met some of our favorite characters from their literacy lessons: the Gruffalo, the Witch, and the Highway Rat! 🐭✨
The children were captivated as they listened to enchanting stories by Julia Donaldson, including ‘Room on the Broom’ and ‘The Smeds and the Smoos’. 📚💖
What a fantastic, fun-filled trip! We can’t wait to share more stories and adventures together! 🌳
Back at school the children wrote recounts of their day, just look at this amazing reception writing!

Year 5 and 6 had an amazing trip to The Hill 🎿⛷️
Our children tried tubing and skiing. Everyone worked hard to keep their balance, learn new skills, and challenge themselves.
It was lovely to see the children supporting and encouraging each other, showing great teamwork and kindness.
There were lots of smiles, laughter, and excitement throughout the day, and everyone had so much fun. The children returned feeling proud of what they had achieved and full of happy memories from a brilliant adventure! 🎿❄️😊

🏛️ Roman Day 🏛️
What an incredible day of immersive learning! From dressing as Roman soldiers and citizens, to hands-on activities (including making Roman-style flatbreads 🍕), our Year 3 and 4 pupils truly stepped back in time. History came to life through creativity, teamwork and curiosity – a brilliant way to deepen understanding and make learning unforgettable.
Later on this week our children will continue their Roman cross curricular work, creating majestic mosaics in art.
Ave, Romans! 🇮🇹✨

✨ A snapshot of learning from across the school this week ✨
From Reception exploring early writing and maths with curiosity and confidence, to older pupils diving into non-chronological reports and planning thoughtful, structured debates, it’s been a week full of focus, creativity and progress.
We are so proud of the effort, enthusiasm and ambition our children bring to their learning every day. Well done to all of our children 👏
Happy Friday everyone! 🌈📚✏️

Our older pupils began by turning their thoughts, feelings and experiences into poems about themselves - carefully choosing words that captured who they are and how they see the world. Those poems then became self-portrait poems, a written reflection of identity, voice and personality.
In art, they took this one step further. Words were transformed into colour. Feelings became shades, moods became tones, and personality was expressed through vibrant, expressive backgrounds. 🎨✨
Through experimenting with colour, layering and depth, pupils learned how artists can replace words with visual language - using artistic techniques to bring meaning and emotion into their work.
A beautiful example of English and art working together, where poetry is not only read, it is seen. We can’t wait for the final products.
