Headteacher's Welcome I am very proud to be the Headteacher at Morelands Primary School, a school I am passionate about having spent the last 9 years here, first as Deputy and now as Headteacher. This is a warm and caring school where every child is valued as an individual. Our children are happy, they behave well and love their learning.
The school vision is Together at Morelands we thrive, create and achieve and be the best we can be. This gives children the knowledge, skills and attributes that enable them to make the most of their time in school and gives them transferable life skills for the challenges they face today and in the future.
I am committed to ensuring your children receive the best possible education. At Morelands, we believe in teaching a creative and engaging curriculum; using our amazing school grounds and making the most of every opportunity to bring learning to life.
