Welcome from the Principal
Welcome to Moorside Primary Academy!
We are delighted to welcome your child to Nursery in September.
Our vision is 'Every child will be a confident, resilient and a lifelong learner with strong foundations to succeed and achieve their full potential.' These ‘foundations’ truly begin during the early years of childhood and we recognise the importance of pupils having the best possible start to their educational journey.
We look forward to supporting and guiding your child to grow, learn and achieve as they flourish as a young person at Moorside.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Warm Regards,
Mr Ismail

Learning Through Play
Play is often viewed as a simple pastime for children, but its significance in early childhood education is profound. Play-based learning fosters essential cognitive, social, and emotional development in young learners.
Play-based learning is an educational approach that uses play as the primary mode of learning. Children engage in structured and unstructured play to explore concepts, solve problems, and develop skills. This method is rooted in the understanding that children learn best when they are actively involved and having fun.
Our highly skilled team provide a learning environment that enables children to explore, create, experiment and play! Our resources,equipment and activities are all set up in a way that meets the developmental needs of each child. Our staff will regularly play with the children because it is our skilled questioning and support that helps them to progress.Throughout each day the children will play independently, in groups, with an adult, at a table, on the floor, writing in a book, writing in the mud! We encourage all of our parents to play with their children at home too. You will be amazed at what children are capable of when we meet them at their level.
