Curriculum and Class Setting
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.
Please find below details of all the intervention sessions that will be running over the May half-term break in
support of this year’s GCSE examinations. Attendance at these sessions is strongly encouraged, as they are
designed to help students maximise their performance in the remaining exams.
Dear parent or carer
Inspection of Moorside High School by Ofsted
I have spoken earlier today with the [principal/headteacher/senior leader] of your child's school to let them know that Ofsted will be inspecting the school on 06 May 2026. The lead inspector will be Tom Theobold, HMI.
Over the coming days, you may see media coverage relating to a former supply teacher who has been charged with serious criminal offences involving students at a number of secondary schools in the Greater Manchester area. The individual is currently in custody ahead of trial.
