Moorside High School

I am writing to introduce myself as the Head of Maths and to provide some information about how we deliver our maths curriculum at Moorside High School.

We hope your child is settling in well at Moorside High School and the transition from primary school has been a positive one. Next week (week commencing 15th September), as with previous year groups at Moorside High School, our Year 7 students will start to sit a small number of baseline tests.

At Moorside, we are always keen to develop our school environment to best meet the needs of our students. With this in mind, we are excited to share that we are relocating our current Mez Room to a new and improved space, which will now be known as the Academic Intervention Centre.

As the Summer is now over, and we have started Year 11, Ms Stephan would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support throughout the last academic year and to say that she is more than pleased to continue to be your child’s Head of Year.

Mrs Gandy is thrilled to introduce herself as your child’s new Head of Year. Having previously worked as pastoral support for the outgoing Year 11 cohort, she has had the privilege of supporting students through some of the most important and challenging moments of their school journey. That experience has deepened her commitment to nurturing young people both academically and personally. 

I am delighted to invite you, as a parent/carer of a Year 11 student, to our Year 11 Information and Guidance – Make It Stick Evening on Thursday 18^th September at 5:30pm in the Sports Hall. The evening will finish no later than 6:30pm.

I am writing to inform you that all student passes from the last academic year – including toilet passes, time-out passes, early exit passes for anxiety, and medical passes – have now expired.
