Moorland School is a selective day/boarding co-educational school. Admissions for full or weekly boarding places are made from seven. Pupils are accepted into school at four years and can stay until 16 years of age.
The school is situated in 15 acres in the attractive town of Clitheroe in the Ribble Valley. The building dates from 1914 and has a modern central heating system and all up-to-date facilities. Clitheroe is half an hour's driving distance of the M6 Motorway. (Junction No. 31) and about half an hour from Preston Railway Station. Manchester Airport is approximately 40 miles from Clitheroe and we can arrange to collect students. The school enjoys the benefits of a rural setting, yet remains easily accessible.
We promote traditional educational and social values within a happy and caring environment with the fundamental aim of helping each child to fulfil his or her individual potential. This does not only mean the acquisiton of good examination results but also the development of physical fitness and sporting skills through both team games and outdoor pursuits. We strengthen the development of self expression, leadership skills and good manners at the same time upholding moral and spiritual values, a tolerant international outlook and concern for the community and the environment.
We regard healthy competition as a desirable ingredient. At the same time we hold that it is essential to judge the attainment of a child in terms of his or her own particular abilities. Thus we hope to strengthen the development of self-confidence. The small classes enable the Principal and the staff to give each pupil more individual attention than is possible in many schools and ensure the development of talents to the full.
Full reports issued to parents each term plus a half termly progress card.
