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.

Look at what came back to school after half term! 📚🌋💙
From finding different places to read to building volcanoes and Viking longboats, and making rain gauges to measure rainfall, our children got creative with their half-term homework.
It was lovely to see them proudly sharing their projects and telling us how they made them. Here is just a small selection.
Well done, everyone. We loved seeing what you came up with! 🌟

Building shapes and growing our mathematical vocabulary! 🔺🟦💙
Year One children have been busy making 3D shapes in maths, exploring how they are constructed and describing their properties.
Faces, edges and vertices, along side naming the shapes, lots of mathematical language to put into practice as they build, compare and explain their creations! 🌟
Practical learning that helps mathematical ideas take shape. Well done, everyone! 👏

The day the children broke the rules! 😂💙
From dressing as their teachers to changing their names, wearing clothes backwards, coming in pyjamas and enjoying McDonald’s for lunch, our children certainly made the most of Break the Rules Day!
So much creativity, plenty of laughter and a few double takes as we worked out who was who! 🤭
Here’s a little look at the fun…
The winner will be announced next week and they will become headteacher for an afternoon!

💙 B is for BELONG.
Every child deserves to walk through their school doors knowing they matter.
Knowing there is someone who will notice when they’re quiet. Someone who will celebrate their smallest victories, encourage them when things feel difficult and believe in them when they don’t quite believe in themselves.
At Moorland Junior School, belonging is more than a word in our school values. It’s a feeling.
It’s the high fives in the corridor, the reassuring cuddles, the friendships that span year groups and the little moments that might seem insignificant, but mean everything to a child.
Our small classes mean that no child gets lost in the crowd. We know their personalities, their passions, their worries and their wonderful little quirks.
Because when you’re part of Moorland Junior School, you’re not just another pupil.
You’re known. You’re valued. You’re part of our family.
And every child deserves to feel that they belong. 💙.

A delicious twist on bread week! 🕷️🍞
As part of our enrichment programme, our young cooks are enjoying a 12-week cookery course at @flavourswhalley, visiting each week to learn new skills and make something different.
From healthy protein balls to scrumptious school cake, they’ve loved discovering what they can create while growing in confidence in the kitchen. This week, they tried their hand at bread making,with a Halloween twist, shaping their dough into spiders! 👩🍳🎃
A huge thank you to the team @flavourswhalley Flavours for helping our children develop practical skills they can enjoy for years to come. 💙

Be Confident in Choosing Your Child's Education
We believe every child has the right to a high standard of education which is why we are academically non-selective. We select students based on their behaviour and personal attributes and combine this with a dedicated teaching and pastoral team. We strive to educate your child to the highest academic level, whilst ensuring they stay grounded.
We want you to feel confident in choosing Moorland to educate your child, which is why we operate an ‘open door’ policy with regard to parental visits. Our dedication to education is reflected in our students’ success.
