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.

🌟 This afternoon, our fantastic Reception children had the wonderful opportunity to show some of our new Hybrid children, who are set to start school in September, around our school grounds! 🌱✨
They guided them through various areas to help them settle in comfortably. From the library 📚 and canteen 🍽️ to the computer room 💻 and quiet area 🤫, our Reception children made sure everyone got a chance to explore and tick off their lists, whilst being wonderful role models.
It’s heartwarming to see our school community come together! 💖

Why keep learning inside when you can take it outdoors? 🌿
Did you know that spending time in nature can reduce stress, boost mood and improve concentration in children?
During RE, our children explored big questions such as “What does the word worldview mean to you?” and “What is religion?” They expressed their thoughts creatively through art, using oil pastels to bring their ideas and perspectives to life. 🎨✨
The children then articulated their ideas respectfully and maturely, impressing us with their vocabulary and depth of thought.
Learning, thinking and creating, all inspired by the world around us. 🌍

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 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.
