Creativity, Confidence and Courtesy

Creativity

Being creative involves going beyond the expected, having the courage to do something differently. At Moorfield pupils are given ample opportunity for creativity. With our strength in the Arts they are encouraged to express themselves in music, dance, art and design, drama and poetry. Individual and group interpretation, composition and improvisation gives each individual an opportunity to make something of their own, show it to others and to have it appreciated.

I chose Moorfield because of what was said of the pupils: intelligent, confident girls with good manners.~ Moorfield Parent

Confidence

With a close correlation between self-concept and school achievement, we know how important it is for each child to feel good about themselves. We appreciate each child as an individual: to give them space to find their strengths, to grow in self-belief and to make personal progress.

One child may struggle with spelling but be wonderful at art; another may find mathematical concepts hard to grasp but the saxophone may make them a star. We expect our pupils to do their best by supporting them while they try, encouraging them when they achieve and recognising their efforts.

I just wish she had been at Moorfield right from the start. ~Moorfield Parent

Every Moorfield pupil is given the opportunity to shine and be proud. The quiet confidence they achieve has become our trademark.

At Moorfield we aim to equip all pupils with the confidence to know that they are competent learners with the personal, academic, musical and sporting skills to succeed in whichever school they may go to next.

My daughter arrived at Moorfield with no self-confidence in her ability or in herself. The difference in her after just one year is miraculous.~ Moorfield Parent

Courtesy

Have good manners gone out of fashion? Not at Moorfield. We hold to the traditional values of respect for one another, courtesy in greetings and actions, and consideration for another’s feelings. This, in turn, gives way to a relaxed and happy family atmosphere which is evident throughout the school.
