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 week our young writers have been busy exploring ambitious vocabulary from folktale Peter and the Wolf! 📚
✨ Using online dictionaries and thesauruses, the children discovered meanings, found powerful synonyms and wrote their own child-friendly definitions. This helped them understand the story more deeply and inspired them to use exciting new vocabulary in their own writing.
We are so proud of their curiosity, independence, and growing confidence as writers! 👏📖

Our trip to Lancashire Farm Education Centre was an absolute hit today! 🐄🐮
The children had a fabulous time meeting the 19 calves and 165 cows, learning all about how milk is made, and even seeing the robots in action 🤖
They met Bob the robot who helps make sure the cows always have enough food. We also learned about silage before heading into the woods to hunt for mini beasts 🐞
Every child was engaged throughout, asking thoughtful questions and soaking up every moment!
@lancashirefarmeducationcentre thank you for a wonderful day!!

Just look at this beautiful piece of Year 1 work ✨
After half term, she has returned full of enthusiasm and completely immersed herself in Meerkat Mail by Emily Gravett. We’ve been exploring language choices while placing a real focus on careful, consistent handwriting and the progress is wonderful to see.
We are incredibly proud of her effort, creativity and presentation. Well done! We can’t wait to see what the class achieve through this unit of English👏✏️

To celebrate Children’s Mental Health Week, our School Council organised a cosy pyjama day 💛
Learning in pyjamas reminded us how important it is to feel comfortable, safe and supported in school 🌈✨
Some of our children even enjoyed a well-earned dessert treat after a half term of showing kindness and being brilliant friends 🍪💛

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.
