This was the first inspection of Moorfield Learning Centre. It was first registered by the Department for Education in April 2018 and opened as a school in May 2018. The school is located in a refurbished building in Barrow-in-Furness. In addition to the pupils who are on the school’s roll, a few pupils, who are dual registered with their mainstream schools or pupil referral unit, attend on short-term and/or part time placements. The school also offers an outreach service to support pupils with social, emotional and mental-health difficulties in local schools. The school provides education for pupils aged 11–17 who are at risk of falling, or have fallen, out of education. There are a very small number of students aged over 16 on roll at the school. However, these pupils do not follow the key stage 5 curriculum and are educated alongside pupils in key stage 4. Inspection report: Moorfield Learning Centre, 11–13 December 2018 Page 10 of 13 All the registered pupils have an education, health and care plan. Pupils have a range of special educational needs, including autistic spectrum disorders, social, emotional and mental health and moderate learning difficulties. Places are secured through a referral process involving different agencies, including schools, children’s social care and Cumbria local authority. Some pupils come from schools and pupil referral units in Barrow-in-Furness and the surrounding area. The school does not use any other alternative providers of education. The school organises physical education lessons off site at the local leisure centre.
