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.

✨ That’s us… over and out for 2025–2026. 💙
What a year it has been.
Our children have surpassed expectations, achieved incredible things and made us proud every single day. They have worked so hard, tackled every challenge with determination and done it all with smiles on their faces.
This year we’ve visited Paris, expanded our Forest School, welcomed new families, grown as a school community and created memories that will stay with us for years to come.
To our wonderful parents - thank you from the bottom of our hearts for trusting us with your precious children. Your support means everything to us.
Moorland truly is one big family, and we are so grateful for every single one of you.
Today has been one of the most wholesome, emotional days of the year. We’ve shed tears as we’ve said goodbye to our incredible Year 6 children, celebrated everything they’ve achieved, and listened to parents sharing memories filled with love and pride. We know each and every one of them is ready for their next adventure, taking with them the confidence, skills and values they’ve developed during their time at Moorland.
Whilst the school year may be over, we’re not quite finished yet… 👀 Keep your eyes peeled for highlights from our wonderful Year 6 Leavers’ Meal.
Here’s to an unforgettable 2025–2026… and to all the exciting opportunities that await in 2026–2027. 💙

Learning comes to life outside the classroom! 🌿💦
Our Years 3 and 4 had an amazing day at Cuerden Valley becoming real geographers and scientists. They explored the river, identified insects and river wildlife, measured the width and depth of the river, investigated how clean the water is, and learned all about key river features including meanders, deposits and the mouth of a river.
There was plenty of hands-on learning (and a lot of splashing!) as the children immersed themselves in their field study experience. 🌍🦋🐟

🥤🐉 Mrs Redmayne’s class became smoothie tasters as part of our exciting persuasive writing unit!
The children sampled a range of delicious smoothies and used their senses to generate powerful descriptive vocabulary. From sweet and juicy to refreshingly tropical and bursting with flavour, our young writers worked hard to collect language that will help them create persuasive adverts for their very own Dragon Fruit Smoothies.
We discussed flavours, textures, aromas and appearance, building a bank of ambitious words and persuasive phrases ready for our next writing challenge.
Watch this space for some irresistible smoothie adverts coming soon! 🍓🍍🐉✨

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.
