    Over the past two terms, students have engaged with a rich and varied English curriculum, studying Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, The Odyssey, and a selection of Identity Poetry. During this time, they have been taught in their form groups, allowing us to get to know them as learners and to assess their progress closely.

  • Y10 Help Your Child to Revise

    06 May 2025

    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 they can best support their child in the run up to the Year 10 End of Year Exams.

  • Year 10 – Help your child to revise

    26 Apr 2025

This was initially planned to be an in-person event, so we hope that this alternative way supports the feedback we have received.

    Our Parents

    “I cannot speak highly enough about the Head of Year 7 at Moorside, Mr Williams. He has made every effort to make sure my daughter has settled into secondary school and has continued to check in with her throughout the school year. The transition from primary school has been smooth thanks to the staff and my daughter feels safe and happy at Moorside.”

    "All of our children have been of differing academic abilities, and have all received the appropriate support necessary for them to achieve their goals on leaving school. They have formed good friendships with their peers and staff members alike, and their well-being has been nurtured in a supportive atmosphere created by enthusiastic staff members. It is within this environment that they have been encouraged, both in their academic studies but also with their sporting events, to always achieve their best.”

    “We have always been delighted with the feedback and responsiveness of the teaching staff at Moorside High School. The communications, letters, videos, etc. have helped us to be involved in our child's learning and understand the importance of the school's values.”
