Mission/focus As many pupils come to Moorland View School missing several years of education we see it as important to focus specifically on raising Literacy and Numeracy attainment and provide indidualised programmes of study to facilitate this. Our classes operate on a small group basis as this builds up self-esteem and increases academic achievement enabling pupils to move on positively to reach their full potential. Pupils with specific literacy and numeracy difficulties receive one to one tuition. The school operates a specific Citizenship programme to help pupils with building positive social interactions and form positive relationships with other pupils and staff.

In the middle of the school is a large school hall where sport and other activities can take place like music. The school has its own independent Educational Psychologist who visits every Tuesday. The school offers a curriculum of all national Curriculum subject but also includes subject such as General Studies, Preparation for Working Life, ASDAN.

Special annual events The school prides itself on its Christmas and summer shows. At hristmas there is our usual Pantomime with pupils and staff sharing the parts, this is then followed by the school's rock bank playing a set. All pupils like to be involved in both areas. At the Summer Open Day, pupils sell the items they have made in the previous weeks, most having their own stalls. Some of the pupils create games for the visitors to try and spend weeks previously devising and planning their activities.
