Moor Hall is a one form entry school, which caters to children from Reception to Year 6. We are a 'small school with a big heart'. We provide a caring, nurturing, and supportive environment where children feel safe and happily ready to learn. Our pupils enjoy helping each other to learn and play. The school's buddy system and development of playtime pals help to ensure that children quickly settle into their new school environment.
Our enthusiastic and professional staff provide pupils with a wide range of learning opportunities which help them achieve often outstanding results at KS1 and KS2. We believe that high-quality teaching and learning takes place when stimulating activities are made relevant to the needs and interests of the child. Where possible, children learn out of the classroom. During each year at school, a range of 'outdoor' learning opportunities is planned. We also have 'thematic' weeks and encourage visitors, such as authors, artists, and members of the community, to widen the children's learning.
We embrace technology that opens up learning opportunities that are interesting, interactive, and enjoyable. Children have access to computers in class and are timetabled to use the school's new ICT suite. We encourage children to develop responsibility for each other, the environment, and the wider community. The school's setting in Mere Green, surrounded by a natural learning environment, means that children can learn about sustainability and gain a sense of community.
Moor Hall has consistently performed well in attempting very high academic standards. Coupled with this we strongly believe in developing the 'whole child' and aim to offer a wide range of learning opportunities so that our children grow in confidence and gain an understanding of the society into which they are growing.
The partnership between parents and school is important to us we want you to feel the staff at the school are approachable so that we can work together for the benefit of your child. The Moor Hall child is a healthy, confident, and responsible child whose achievement is the very best it can be. The Moor Hall child is creative, innovative, values, and nurtures key transferrable knowledge, skills, and attitudes in preparation for an ever-changing future.
Moor Hall School works very closely with The Arthur Terry Teaching School and is part of the Arthur Terry Teaching School Alliance. The alliance facilitates excellent professional development opportunities, working alongside an outstanding Secondary school. The schools work closely to ensure that transition is smooth and that the resources in both settings are effectively utilized for the benefit of the children.
This describes everything that goes on in school which results in your child learning about the world around him/her. It comprises formal, structured learning extra-curricular activities and the ‘hidden’ curriculum, which embodies attitude and culture. We aim to provide a happy, caring, and secure environment in which children can work co-operatively and independently and develop an awareness of the needs of others. Moor Hall School aims to provide the children with a broad, balanced, and differentiated curriculum that promotes spiritual, moral, cultural, mental, and physical development.
We encourage pupils to be respectful of people and property and thereby take a pride in themselves and their school. Throughout their school life, children will be encouraged towards independence and responsible decision making, as part of their essential preparation for the next step to secondary school and adult life.
