School

Moor House provides a specialist environment where the educational needs of each individual student can be met. We follow a differentiated mainstream curriculum, offering a specialist, safe, caring and stimulating learning environment where students are empowered to reach their potential in language, learning and independence. Students are taught in small classes of up to 12 students by teachers with training and experience working with children with speech and language disorder. Differentiated language and specialist approaches are used so that children can understand and develop the language they need for learning. Signing with grammatical markers, the SHAPE CODING™ system and Cued Articulation are used by all staff and support students’ learning and development.

Our Speech and Language Therapists work closely with teachers to understand and support each student’s difficulties and strengths. Teachers plan and deliver lessons collaboratively with Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Special Teaching Assistants as part of a multi-disciplinary approach to support each student’s development.

“All children are making very good progress and, in many cases, this progress is exceptional.”

OFSTED Care Report 2020

Demand for places is growing because of the extraordinary difference we are making to the lives of young people with speech and language disorder. In 2020, 95% of year 11 students achieved a nationally recognised GCSE or equivalent and 100% achieved or exceeded their minimum expected outcomes in English and Maths. All KS4 students continued in education after the end of year 11.
