Why choose Moorland?

Thank you for your interest in our School. Founded over 70 years ago, Moorland is a unique school that combines the best aspects of traditional education within a warm family atmosphere, something that is very important for the development of each young person. The success of the school owes much to its small class sizes, this helps to build a special relationship between teacher and pupil producing excellent results.

The school is owned and run by Mr and Mrs Smith who took over the school in September 2002. Mrs Smith's parents, Mr and Mrs Harrison ran the school for 15 years prior to this date. The Harrison's retired in September 2002. Moorland has had a proud tradition as a school since 1936.

Anyone who visits Moorland will be impressed by the sense of happiness and the family atmosphere. Our broad based curriculum gives every child a chance to shine. Pastoral care is well managed and Moorland offers a superb range of activities, clubs, competitions and school visits to give each child every opportunity to take part and be challenged - but not overwhelmed!
