PREP

Independent preparatory schools do not have to follow the National Curriculum or submit test results to the Department for Education so there is no individual school performance data or star rating.

Visit the school's website to learn more about their unique curriculum, policies on testing and common leaver destinations (a good indicator of pupil progress). See our About page for information on Choosing A Prep School.

School Description

Leaders at Moorland Waldorf School have not ensured effective safeguarding arrangements. The school’s procedures for recruiting staff are not robust. Despite some training, staff’s knowledge of safeguarding practices is fragile. Risks to pupils are not assessed effectively. Actions are not taken swiftly enough when risks are identified. The curriculum does not prepare pupils well for their next steps in education. Teachers’ expectations of what pupils can and should achieve are too low. Pupils with additional learning needs are not supported well. Pupils appear happy. They behave well. Pupils understand the importance of attending well. When bullying does happen, it is dealt with quickly by adults. There is someone in school whom pupils can talk to if they are worried or concerned about anything. There is mutual respect between staff and pupils. There are many opportunities for pupils to learn outdoors. Pupils enjoy this aspect of the school’s curriculum. For instance, pupils excitedly showed an inspector the seeds that they had planted outside. All pupils have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. However, there are no other extra-curricular opportunities on offer. Pupils have limited opportunities to engage in trips and visits beyond the local community.
