"Pupils have excellent attitudes to learning, work well together and are motivated to succeed."

- 'Good' Ofsted Report 2023 - Moorside Primary School and Nursery

EYFS Parents

We feel privileged to teach all our children. We build strong relationships with their families as the partnership in supporting our children’s development is important to us. Our staff are welcoming and friendly, and we are never too busy to talk to parents – our door is always open. We offer a home visit when your child first starts at Moorside – this is the best way to quickly build a relationship with you and your child. We regularly share your children’s progress through termly meetings, we hold Family Fridays monthly and children’s work and observations are continuously displayed for parents and carers to see. We know that leaving your child can be a nerve-wracking experience (we’ve been there!), and we work with each family individually to ensure that your child’s start to their school journey is a happy and settled one.

Reviews from the Children and Parents

School Visitor

Lauren's Assembly in April 2022 "Thank you for such a warm welcome, for the children's excellent behaviour and such thoughtful questions".

Y6 Parent

Reading at Moorside "I think the teachers are doing a fantastic job with reading. I believe the access children have to other forms e.g. Reading Plus etc means they are less likely to be bored and then choose to read a book as entertainment".

Mason, Year 3

Reading at Moorside "I love hearing stories from my teacher and choosing books out of the library".

Reception Parent
