Moorland School
Helping Children Achieve Academic Excellence and Emotional & Social Confidence
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.

🎉 What an incredible day at the Moorland Family Fun Afternoon! 🎉
Our school field was bursting with colour and laughter as families enjoyed a fantastic carnival-themed event, brought to life by Moorland Junior School and Moorland Junior School PTA.
From the vibrant face painting and bustling stalls to classic games like Hook a Duck and the Coconut Shy, there was fun at every turn. The inflatable helter skelter by Funtime Inflatables was a huge hit, while little ones loved the soft play and toddler bouncy castle provided by Ribble Valley Soft Play Hire.
🎶 The Ribble Valley Community Band and Phoenix Solo filled the air with music, and Adrian Catch wowed us all with his magical tricks! Families captured memories at the Photo Booth, refuelled with delicious food from Amico Mio, cooled down with ice cream, and relaxed with a drink from the bar.
💛 A massive thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make today so special — what a brilliant celebration of our school community!

👩🍳🍛 Year 5/6 had a deliciously fun day at Flavours Cookery School in Whalley!
They chopped, whisked, shaped, and stirred their way through a hands-on culinary adventure — from animal-shaped bread starters 🐘 to homemade tikka masala 🍗🥦 and classic school cake 🍰 for dessert.
Laughter filled the kitchen as our budding chefs cooked up confidence and creativity.
A recipe for memories! 👨🍳💫

Stitching up some style! 🪡✨
For our final textiles enrichment project, the children designed their own T-shirts—from sketching shapes to cutting fabric and stitching it all together. They put all their knowledge about stitching and hard work into their final design. Fashion designers in the making! 👕🎨

🥕🥦 Exciting things to share from Reception Class!
We’ve been diving into the world of healthy eating and balanced diets! 🌟
Our little chefs whipped up a deliciously nutritious vegetable soup, learning all about hygiene by washing hands and cleaning surfaces - safety first! 🧼✨
With child-safe knives, they chopped colourful vegetables, discovering the importance of looking after ourselves and each other 🔪🎛️
And guess what? We wrapped up our cooking adventure with a sweet treat: our very own Rocky Road! 🍫🍬
We learned that it’s all about balance - enjoying those tasty treats in moderation keeps us healthy and happy!

Year 3 & 4 had so much fun this making our dancing sculptures! ✨
The children used pipe cleaners and tin foil to build their figures, experimenting with different shapes and forms.
Once their sculptures were ready, they chose a “move” or “pose” for their dancer, capturing movement in a really creative way. 🕺
The class really enjoyed the activity and showed great imagination in bringing their dancing figures to life! 💃🏻

Admissions
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.
