Description
Moorlands School is Independent Primary school in Leeds for kids aged 2 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
At Moorlands, they have a simple yet beautiful motto: 'Intrepide!', or 'be brave!' In school they talk about how being brave or intrepid takes many forms. Being brave isn’t always a grand gesture; sometimes it just means ‘having a go’; attempting that difficult question, offering an answer in a lesson when you’re not quite sure - or simply trying something new.They offer a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment in which this culture of intrepidness can flourish, allowing Moorlands children to be brave and adventurous as they learn and grow.
Facilities
First Steps (Foundation Stage): 2-5 years
Step into the Early Years classrooms and you will be greeted by engaged and happy children making the most of our well-equipped, bright and spacious facilities. The qualified, experienced teachers work with you to make this move as smooth as possible, taking into account the specific needs of each child. They have a flexible approach, taking into consideration family requirements. Nursery children can do any combination of mornings or full days, with a minimum of four sessions (half a day).
Picking Up Pace: 5-7 years
They ensure a seamless transition from the Early Years; Year 1 pupils continue to enjoy areas of continuous provision, with the structure of the day becoming increasingly formal, in preparation for KS2.The creative curriculum ensures all learning styles are catered for and pupils are engaged and curious about the topics studied. English and maths remain discrete subjects whilst subject specialists teach French, music, drama, outdoor education, swimming and PE. All subjects are enhanced through several educational visits each term, themed days including the ever-popular Bedtime Story Evening and the Year 2 overnight residential to the Peak District.
Maintaining Momentum: 7-11 years
As they move into Key Stage 2, they encourage children to think imaginatively across a variety of topics. In Key stage 2, the ongoing Creative Curriculum covers a variety of topics ranging from “Chocolate” to “Expedition Everest”.They actively encourage independent thinking and adaptability alongside academic focus and an ever evolving depth of learning. High standards in the core skills of literacy and numeracy are maintained throughout, with academic rigour escalating in Upper Key stage 2 to ensure each pupil achieves a place in the senior school of their choice.
