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.

Sometimes, the very best moments at school are the ones you simply can’t plan.
The wide eyes. The excitement. The questions. The discoveries. The moments that make children stop and say, “WOW!”
At Moorland, we want childhood to be filled with awe, wonder and curiosity; creating space for children to explore, imagine, discover and find joy in the everyday.
Because learning should feel exciting. And childhood should still feel a little bit magical✨

💙 What do we do for wellbeing at Moorland?
This year, we have appointed a dedicated Head of Wellbeing and Pastoral Care to support every child and adult across our school.
As part of our Wellbeing Wednesday programme, a group of children visited @ilovepaintpot in Clitheroe this week. They enjoyed designing and painting their own tiles, chatting together and finishing the afternoon with a delicious hot chocolate! ☕🎨
We can’t wait to see their finished creations. A huge thank you to Paint Pot for making the children feel so welcome!

🌻 Today, our lovely EYFS children visited @georgeandclemmiesfarm to pick their very own sunflowers and enjoy a delicious ice cream too! 🍦
Back in the classroom, the children have been exploring watercolours and used their freshly picked sunflowers as inspiration for their own beautiful paintings.
A wonderful day of creativity, nature and hands-on learning! 💙

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.
