The pursuit of excellence is what drives us at Moorland and we want every child in our care to be the very best they can be. We are determined to not allow circumstances out of our control to detrimentally effect our offering, and therefore the progression of children entrusted to the Moorland family.

At Moorland we are on-hand to educate, support and advise, as you adapt to new ways of learning and working.

Following the launch of the Waddow Heights development on Waddington Road, Moorland School were invited to be a part of Barratt and David Wilson Homes ‘Welcome Home’ campaign. With the goal of the campaign being to spread joy, warmth and happiness, Moorland was overjoyed to be involved with this scheme, supporting local businesses and spreading joy within our community.

On Thursday Moorland Junior School took the opportunity to take a ‘learning walk’ around our local town of Clitheroe.

During the circular walk the students learned about the local history of Clitheroe. Touching upon Clitheroe Castle, the three wells, influential historic buildings and many other facts they previously wouldn’t have known about our town. The students were also able to enjoy a socially distant visit to Clitheroe Market.

As a boarding school we will be following the Boarding School’s Association newly announced COVID-SAFE Charter. All member schools who have adopted the BSA Covid-Safe Charter confirm that they will comply with all government rules and guidance and will meet all necessary safety requirements to create the safest environment possible for all of their students.

As part of our ongoing plan of constant improvement, we’re taking the necessary steps to improve clear and stable communication between parents, the school and staff members.

During the break we have carried out several refurbishments in our Junior School and Boarding houses, along with the provision of new desks, chairs and displays for our Senior School. Significant time and effort has gone into the refurbishment of our Junior School, Boarding Houses and Nursery.

During the summer we have increased the size of our team with new additions to our Junior School, Senior School, Football Academy and Marketing Department. We are eager to introduce our new staff members and have collated a few notes to help you get to know them before you get a chance to meet.
