Being happy and successful in school and in later life isn't something that happens by chance. Our children learn through experience the importance of concentration, trying new things and imagining alternative possibilities.
We firmly believe that intelligence isn't fixed: hard work and persevering when the going gets tough are attributes that we can all develop to help us to accomplish things we never thought possible. We call this the Moorfield Mindset.
In an increasingly competitive globalised world a strong academic performance has never been so important -we place a strong emphasis on ensuring that our children strive for the highest standards in all that they do.
