About Us

At Moorcroft Wood, we are more than just a school—we are a family. Our children are at the heart of every decision we make, shaping a nurturing and inclusive environment where every individual is valued and supported to thrive. Set within extensive grounds that lead directly into Moorcroft Wood, our school offers a unique connection to the natural world. We are proud to provide a rich outdoor learning experience through our Forest School and OPAL play approach, placing exploration, creativity, and active learning at the centre of everyday life. At Moorcroft Wood, we believe that learning goes beyond the classroom, fostering curiosity, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning in all our children.

At Moorcroft Wood, we hold high expectations for all members of our school community, encouraging every child to achieve their very best both academically and personally. We believe that a strong sense of belonging is essential for success, where every child feels safe, valued, and part of our school family. Excellent attendance plays a vital role in this, ensuring children can fully engage with their learning, build meaningful relationships, and benefit from the wide range of opportunities we provide. By working in partnership with families, we foster a culture of commitment, responsibility, and pride, where every child feels connected, confident, and ready to succeed each day.

We are proud to be part of the Lighthouse Multi Academy Trust, working in collaboration with other schools to provide the very best opportunities for our children. Being part of the Trust allows us to share expertise, strengthen our practice, and continually develop high-quality teaching and learning. Together, we are committed to a shared vision of excellence, inclusion, and opportunity, ensuring every child at Moorcroft Wood benefits from a broad, enriching, and forward-thinking education.
