Moorside High School

Following feedback from previous events, it was highlighted that it is often inconvenient for parents/carers to come into school early in the evening for events that sometimes can only last 40-45minutes. We have therefore decided to trial an electronic presentation for Year 10 Parents/Carers on how you can best support your child in the run up to the Year 10 End of Year Exams. This was initially planned to be an in-person event, so we hope that this alternative way supports the feedback we have received.

As you are aware, our Year 8 students are sitting their in-class assessments between Monday, 31st March 2025, and Thursday, 3rd April 2025.

In order to ensure we continue to prepare students for the summer exams, we are planning on providing Year 11 students with some further opportunities to practice their exam techniques.

Moorside High School is excited to be one of the host schools for The National Theatre school’s tour of The LeftBehinds. Set in a post-apocalyptic future, The LeftBehinds follows a group of unlikely heroes on a high-energy quest across a desolate wasteland to rebuild an android, unlock its power, and save the planet. The National Theatre is performing in only a small number of schools in the Greater Manchester area, and we are so pleased that they have chosen to visit Moorside High School on Monday 3rd March.

As you are aware, at this stage of Year 9, it is time to consider students’ choices for KS4 and ultimately those subjects they will achieve their first external qualifications in.

As you are aware, your child is currently completing the Cambridge National in Creative iMedia GCSE Examination course. As part of this course, students are required to complete an external examination, earlier than the other GCSE courses.
