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.

🎅✨ Year 1 & 2 have been learning how to write a letter to Santa during their English lessons!
The children worked hard to use ambitious adjectives so Santa knows exactly what they’re wishing for this Christmas. They also learnt how to edit and redraft their work, producing beautifully neat final letters.
Once our writing was complete, we wrapped up warm and took a little winter walk to the post box to send them safely on their way to the North Pole. 📮💌✨

A whole term of LAMDA with Little Voices 🎭✨
Our children have enjoyed small-group lessons, weekly, with Haylie and Sinead, building their speaking & listening, drama and performance skills. Intertwined in every session is the confidence to speak publicly and perform for a crowd -life skills they’ll carry forever.
We’ve loved watching our children grow under Haylie and Sinead’s expert guidance. Their skills, confidence and creativity have blossomed, and we can’t wait to see what they achieve next term! 🌟
Thank you @littlevoicesbdrv 💙

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.
