Moorland - Our School
The Moorland Difference
Moorland School
Our Ethos
Our Ethos is underpinned by our mission to be a welcoming family sanctuary with high standards, strong relationships and outstanding support for every child and family.
We are a warm, relational school with uncompromising expectations. High standards of behaviour are essential to safeguarding, learning and wellbeing, and all children are expected to meet them.
Every child has the right to feel safe and to learn without disruption. At Moorland Junior School, we aim to:
Our shared values – BELONG – shape and underpin all that we do.
B – Belonging: We are valued and celebrated.
E – Excellence: We excel in every way we can.
L – Learning: We are always learning.
O – Opportunities – We have the chance to develop
N – Nurture – We care for ourselves, others and our environment
G – Growth – We strive for tomorrow by reflecting on today
INCLUSIVE & CONSIDERED LEARNING
Smaller Class Sizes & Individual Tutoring Support
Our small class sizes allow our experienced teaching staff to provide a high level of individual education and care. We believe Moorland is an extension of the home, with smaller classes allowing for a considered nurturing environment in which every student feels they belong and can be heard.
Along with dedicated support from our staff, students can also benefit from our unique tailored education. We are privileged to have the luxury of adapting the National Curriculum to each student’s needs and strengths, whether it be academic, creative, sporting, or other interests. We firmly believe that by allowing the children to blossom individually, we can inspire them to become life-long learners.
Assessment and support are an important part of our ethos. Regular assessments and reviews help us to identify gaps in learning and to help children understand and grow. Parents are a key part of our students’ development, and we work closely with parents to keep them abreast their child’s progress.
CONFIDENCE & COMPETITION
The Ability to Achieve the Dream through Hard Work
Moorland is academically non-selective, as we select students based on their behaviour which allows us to create a conducive learning environment for all of our learners. This means that every student at Moorland can happily achieve their full social, emotional and academic potentials in confidence.
Our value-added teaching is second to none as we help students, regardless of background, find their strengths and improve their performance and confidence.
Additionally, we run Private Tuition classes after school, four days a week. These classes follow our aim of providing individualised learning through personal targets for each child which are realistic and achievable. These targets are reviewed often and new targets are set when necessary.
Our education and pastoral team offer support and guidance to help students grow in confidence and reach their full potential.
