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.

🌟 Today, some of our children embarked on a fabulous adventure to Incredible Farm! 🌱✨
We had an amazing time learning about the importance of growing our own crops and how to lead a healthy lifestyle. The children discovered how fresh fruits and vegetables are grown, and they even got their hands dirty planting onion bulbs! 🧅
Along the way, we met some adorable animals, including quails, turkeys, ducks, and chickens. The highlight was a playful dog named Jake and a curious emu called Rodney! 🐾🪶
To top off our day, the children made their own pizzas, which were cooked in a man-made clay oven outside 🍕🔥
What a wonderful experience filled with learning, laughter and delicious food! 🌼💚

✨Take a sneak peek into today’s Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 maths lesson.✨
Across every lesson, every day, our teachers skilfully scaffold knowledge and skills so that learning is less overwhelming.
Children are carefully supported and guided by teachers, before being given the space and confidence to apply their understanding independently and with mastery.
This gentle yet purposeful approach is something we are incredibly proud of as a team- helping children to approach new learning with confidence rather than uncertainty.
The power of smaller classes is clear: removing barriers to learning and ensuring every child is known, supported and challenged to succeed.

🌿 Forest School is BACK!!! 🌿
With exciting new features, the fun, curiosity, and learning returned in full force!
From exploring new vocabulary to discovering how Vitamin D from the sunshine supports our bodies, our children were full of questions and wonder. We even made time to talk about mental health and how being outdoors helps us feel our best.
There was barefoot yoga, brilliant collaborative play, and, of course, an unplanned (but very welcomed!) water fight 💦
Learning, laughter, and a little bit of wild… just how it should be 🌳 #childledlearning #forestschooluk #ribblevalley #moorlandjuniors #outdoorlearning

Whole School Celebration Assembly ☀️
Today, we took our Friday celebration assembly outside to enjoy our beautiful grounds in the sunshine.
We were proud to celebrate a wide range of achievements - from academic success, such as Year 3 exploring integers in maths, to personal growth in confidence, presentation and knowledge and skills in history.
We also recognised those children who are living out our values every day: trying new foods at lunchtime, being a great friend and showing kindness and warmth to our new children.
A huge well done to all of our very deserving winners 👏✨

🎭✨ What a fantastic day at Lancaster Grand Theatre! Our youngest children had an unforgettable experience watching ‘Zog’ and it was truly a joy to witness.
From the moment the curtains opened, the excitement was palpable. The vibrant colours, characters, and engaging story captivated our little ones, sparking their imaginations.
They laughed, cheered and even joined in on some of the interactive moments.
Seeing their faces light up with joy was a highlight for all of us. The way they interacted with the performers and responded to the plot was simply heartwarming. It’s moments like these that remind us of the magic of theatre and its power to inspire creativity and connection 🌟💖

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.
