At Moorlands Primary School, we believe that 'Anything is Possible!'

We aim to educate your child so that they have the skills to become life long learners as the world evolves. A happy, nurturing and caring school, which caters for everyone. Pupils that grow into confident and tolerant individuals, who embrace their unique qualities. Our staff will provide the challenge and an inspiring curriculum in order to ignite their passion for learning. Our parents will support the school and its core values through their encouragement and partnership in all aspects of school life. We have high standards in literacy and numeracy as well as a passion for the arts and music.

The ethos of the school centres around 6 core values that the pupils and staff decided upon. 

There are:

• Equality
• Peace
• Respect
• Perseverance
• Responsibility
• Co-operation

In our weekly praise assemblies, that parents are invited to, one child from each class is chosen for the Values Award. Additional children may be chosen by any member of staff in the school if they have been recognised for an action / conduct around the school that needs commending.
