At Moorside High School, we are committed to supporting the wellbeing of all our students and ensuring they know where to access help when they need it. As part of this commitment, we are pleased to be working with Kooth's Soluna service, which provides free and confidential mental health support for young people.
This is an important opportunity to meet with your child's teachers, discuss how they have settled into the academic year and Moorside High School, celebrate their successes, and gain valuable insight into what they need to do to continue making positive progress. Strong partnerships between home and school are vital in ensuring every student achieves their full potential, and we look forward to welcoming you to school for these important conversations.
At Moorside High School, the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff remains our highest priority. As part of our commitment to maintaining a safe school environment, we regularly practise emergency procedures so that everyone knows how to respond calmly and appropriately should an incident ever occur.

As we begin a new academic year, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as your child’s Head of Year 11. Having worked at Moorside High School for the past ten years and having recently supported our previous Year 11 cohort through their final year, I am delighted to have the opportunity to work with your child during this important stage of their education.
As we begin a new academic year, I am delighted to introduce myself as your child’s new Head of Year 10. I am extremely excited about the opportunity to work with, support and mentor your child throughout what I hope will be a rewarding and memorable two years.
As we begin a new academic year, I am delighted to continue my journey alongside your child as their Head of Year 9. Year 8 was an enjoyable and successful year for the cohort, and I was incredibly proud to see so many students make progress, develop positive habits and grow in confidence. I am excited to see them build on these foundations as they move into Year 9.
