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.

🌟🎉 Show and Tell in Reception 🎤✨
In Reception, we had the most wonderful Show and Tell session! Each child brought something special to share, and we couldn’t be prouder of how brave and confident they were standing up in front of their friends.
They spoke clearly, listened so respectfully and asked thoughtful questions; such beautiful communication skills in action. 👂💬
💡 Did you know? By the age of 5, most children can use around 2,000–2,500 words and speak in full, complex sentences. Vocabulary at this age is a huge predictor of later reading success - which is why we place such importance on developing speech, language and communication every single day.
We are so proud to promote rich vocabulary, confident speaking and attentive listening in Reception. 🌈👏

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!!
