Moorland Private School

Moorland Private School Founded over 100 years ago, Moorland is a thriving independent co-educational day and boarding school. It all adds up to a perfect mix.

Moorland is a non-selective, co-educational school and draws pupils from many backgrounds, both in the UK and overseas. Our student intake has always been broad since we offer more than simply academic excellence. Our main admissions criteria centre on favourable school reports, good behaviour, a positive outlook and a willingness to learn. Many of our boarders come from forces families or have pa

rents who work or travel abroad. In addition, Moorland also has a growing contingent of international students, broadening their horizons through an English education. With a long history of succeeding at the highest level, Moorland School achieves these standards by valuing every individual and ensuring that their potential is maximised. Small class sizes, capped significantly lower than state schools and most independent schools, allow us to offer one-to-one tuition for each student. We ensure that the education we provide is tailored to the needs of each child. For general admissions and school information, please email Carl Lightbown at:

📏☀️ Year 5/6 had an absolute blast taking Maths outdoors this week, exploring the wonders of length in the sunshine! 🌳✨

Through fun challenges, they put their measurement skills to the test—making statements and proving them right or wrong. The excitement was contagious as they debated, measured, and celebrated their successes (especially when they could confidently prove a statement incorrect!). 💡✅

A fantastic way to make Maths hands-on, engaging, and fun! 🔢👏

🚓👮‍♂️ KS2 had an exciting visit from the police, learning all about citizenship and the laws that shape our daily lives!

The children were buzzing with excitement as they explored the police car, peeked inside, and even heard the sirens blaring! 🚨✨ Officers shared insights into their uniforms and special equipment, explaining how they help keep our community safe.

With fantastic questions and plenty of enthusiasm, our students gained a deeper understanding of the important role police play in society. A truly inspiring visit! 💙

From shops and cafés to the library and town hall, they eagerly identified key buildings and thought about their importance in our community. It was fantastic to see their curiosity shine as they connected their learning to real-life experiences! 🏡✨

A wonderful way to learn about our town and the people who help it thrive! 💛

Year 1 and 2 had an exciting day at Smithills Farm, bringing our science lessons to life!

We have been exploring how animals are classified, and were able to feed adorable baby animals, and got up close with lambs, ponies, and chicks. 🐑🐴🐣

We even watched the cows being milked and learned how the milk is turned into ice cream and other dairy products🍦A fun-filled day that helped us connect the dots between science and the real world!

Today, Reception Class had a special visit from Miss Baron’s daughter, who is in her final year at university studying Forensic Science and Criminal Investigation. The children had lots of fun pretending to be scientists, sporting lab coats and white suits just like the professionals in the forensic field! 🧑‍🔬✨

They learned all about the different shapes, patterns, and features of fingerprints and even got to print their own! It was a fantastic hands-on experience that sparked curiosity and creativity in our little learners. 🕵️‍♀️🔍

Thank you, Ella for inspiring our future scientists! 💡👩‍🎓

📚✨ Happy World Book Day! ✨📚

Our classroom was bursting with magic as we welcomed characters from Hogwarts, Mary Poppins, Paddington Bear, and so many more! 🧙‍♂️🎩🧸

The children had an absolute blast—reading their favourite books, meeting a real-life author on Zoom, and bringing their own imaginary worlds to life through creative writing! ✍️✨

My personal faves are: 'I want my hat back - Jon Klassen', 'Danny the Champion of the World' and 'The Faraway Tree Collection'.

✨ Our Year 3 & 4 students had an incredible time at Blackburn Museum! 🎉

🕰️ They stepped back in time to experience life as Victorians—dressing up in old-fashioned clothes and trying their hand at writing with ink and a fountain pen. ✍️

🏭 Next, they explored Lancashire’s rich history and discovered how the mills operated long ago.

🖤 But the highlight? Seeing a REAL mummy! 🤯 The students dived into ancient Egypt, exploring fascinating artefacts and uncovering secrets of the past.
