Moortown Primary is a ‘single-form entry’ school. This means we take only one class each year and so have one class in each year group. Classes are limited to a maximum of 30 children in Reception, Year 1 and 2 (like all schools), and classes in Years 3 to 6 are usually around this size, too.
Key information about the day-to-day running of Moortown Primary School can be found here – everything from the price of a school dinner to important dates in the school year. If there remains something that you still need to know, we’re always happy to answer any questions you may have – call in or contact us.

What is s split digraph?
A split diagraph is an English term under the study of phonetics. It describes a letter that splits during pronunciation. An example is ‘a-e’ which is used in words such as make and take.
Split digraphs are sometimes known as ‘magic e’ words; however, our children will refer to these sounds as split diagraphs.
We’ll be spending the next few weeks learning all about these sounds.
