"Positive start with some teething issues"

My child has just joined Moorside High in Year 7 and we're all enjoying the experience. The staff are friendly, the facilities are great, and the transition team has been very helpful. However, we did experience some issues with communication and it took a while to get used to the new structure. Overall, a good start!

"Excellent school with great values!"

My child has been attending Moorside High for a year now and I'm so impressed with the values they're teaching. From 'Consideration | Aspiration | Resilience | Equality' to the various clubs like 'Coding Club' and 'Football', Moorside truly cares about its students. My child is thriving and I couldn't be happier.

"Wonderful school with dedicated staff"

My child graduated from Moorside High a few years ago, but I'm still in touch with some of the staff who were instrumental in their success. They genuinely care about each student and go above and beyond to provide a supportive environment. I've seen the school evolve and adapt to new challenges, and I'm always impressed by their commitment to excellence.
