Moortown Primary School

Starting school in September 2011?
Find out how we will welcome you and your child.

Moortown Primary is very much a ‘family’ school: we cultivate and nurture attitudes of support, respect and care in all our activities and relationships and for all our children.

We are very proud of our academic achievements. We set high standards in everything we do and strongly believe in the importance of the core skills of reading, writing and mathematics. Our Basic Skills Quality Mark (awarded in June 2008) recognises our excellent achievements in these areas.

At Moortown we also believe that primary school education is an experience that all children should enjoy to the full. We therefore offer a broad and balanced curriculum to all pupils that acknowledges the value of the arts and the importance of health – both vital to ensure that every child enjoys their education and achieves the most they can.

The multi-cultural dimension of our school’s community is another of our strengths. It gives us the opportunity to explore, understand and celebrate our many diverse backgrounds. This helps our children to become positive and active citizens.

We believe strongly that the education of our children is a partnership between home and school. We fully inform and involve parents in the life of our school.
