Curriculum Overviews

The school’s curriculum is rich and balanced, and it is regularly reviewed to ensure that it meets pupils’ needs and interests. It is closely linked to the local culture and heritage, and is enriched by a range of trips and visits, as well as other outdoor learning opportunities. Creative use is made of visiting specialists, especially in physical education and art. Displays of pupils’ artwork are stunning. The curriculum enables pupils to consolidate and extend their basic skills in reading and mathematics, and especially in writing.  Ofsted 2017

The Moorside curriculum is designed to enrich and enhance the National Curriculum.  For a copy of the National Curriculum follow the LINK

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".

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".
