Moorland School

A few words of welcome from our head

A warm welcome to our school. Here at Moorland, our ethos is to create an atmosphere that feels like family. Within this personal, warm, and nurturing environment, all our children and young people can achieve their true academic and social potential.

My job is a simple one: I am an extension of your family. My responsibility is to ensure that your children are happy, well-educated, confident, and socially-prepared for the demands of adult life.
