"Excellent all round school!"
We've been really impressed with the progress our children have made since joining Moorside. The teachers are supportive and the school's focus on community is lovely to see. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars is due to some issues with communication between teachers and parents, but we're hoping this will improve.

"A great local school"
We've had our children at Moorside for a few years now and have always been happy with the standard of education they receive. The school's extra-curricular activities are also fantastic, our kids love the after-school clubs. A few minor issues with the playground, but overall a great local choice for families.
