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.

Day three at PGL… over and out! 🌟
Today our children conquered the giant swing and mastered some archery.
This afternoon we welcomed our children back to school and loved hearing all about the memories and adventures made during such a special week away. From conquering fears to trying new activities, the children have represented Moorland School brilliantly and should be incredibly proud of themselves. 💙
A huge thank you to Mrs Redmayne and Mrs Simmonds for taking the children and giving them such a fun-filled and memorable week. We know just how much time, energy and care goes into trips like these, and we are so grateful. 😊

Can you believe these children are some of our Reception class? Yes… Reception, just 5 years old! 📚✨
At Moorland Junior School, every child reads every single day with a teacher, giving them valuable 1:1 time to build confidence, fluency and a genuine love of reading. 📚📖
Did you know? Research shows that children who read regularly from an early age develop stronger vocabulary, communication skills and academic confidence across all subjects. 🌟
We could not be prouder of our little readers and the progress they make every day. 💙 #reading #read #earlyreading #welovebooks #eyfs

This afternoon, some of our youngest artists dove into a vibrant art lesson focused on collaging! 🎨
They explored a range of materials and techniques such as layering, refining their skills to express their unique creativity. It was wonderful to see their imaginations come to life through their colourful creations! 🌈✨

🌟 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! 🌼💚

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.
