Moorlands Junior School is a community school for pupils between and 7 and 11 years of age. We are currently a three form entry school with 12 classes in mainstream. We also have a 10 place resourced provision which we call our Small Specialist Class; this accomodates children with Education Health Care Plans (EHCPs) for Complex Learning and Social Communication Difficulties.
Places in this class are allocated by the Local Authority SENDIAS department.
We are extremely fortunate to have extensive school grounds and are especially proud of our MUGA (multi-use games arena), library bus, our treehouse activity space and our outdoor learning area which all enhance playtime, the school curriculum and improve access for sport activities and outdoor learning.
