SCHOOL MESSAGE: Moorland provides a purposeful and friendly atmosphere for the personal and academic growth of the individual.

Traditional education and social values are promoted within a happy and caring family environment, with the fundamental aim of helping each child to fulfil his or her full potential.

We strive for the acquisition of excellent public examination results.

We also encourage the development of physical fitness and sporting skills, in our newly-refurbished sports hall, through both team games and outdoor pursuits, thereby strengthening the development of self-expression and leadership skills.

At the same time moral and spiritual values are upheld and an awareness engendered towards our community and the environment.

We also have energetic music and arts departments. All pupils have music on their timetable to fourth-year options.

STAR STUDENT: Top accountant Richard Turnbull said: "I was a pupil at Moorland for a number of years and studied for my GCSEs at the school.

"There is no doubt that my time at the school improved my confidence and sense of independence.

"After leaving university I joined Deloitte and Touche, the third largest and fastest growing accountancy firm in the UK.

"I've qualified as a chartered accountant with the firm, and I'm now a manager in the Birmingham office."
