• ‘The pupils’ attitudes to learning are excellent: they want to succeed in all they do.’
• ‘Listening comes easily to the pupils: they want to learn, not just from their teachers but from each other; and in assemblies the stillness of their concentration as they listen to members of staff or other pupils is palpable.’
• ‘The excellent knowledge, skills and understanding across the curriculum of pupils of all needs and abilities underpins their considerable achievements.’
• ‘Excellent examples of higher order study skills were seen.’
• ‘The pupils, including those with special educational needs… make good and often excellent progress in their learning. …Leaders’ and governors’ focus upon individual pupils and the dedication of the teaching staff have contributed greatly to this success.’
• ‘The pupils enjoy great success in academic subjects and in art, design, drama, music and sport.’

The quality of the pupils’ personal development is EXCELLENT.

Excerpts from the Moor Park inspection report:

• ‘Pupils display high levels of resilience, self-discipline, independence and self-confidence…The School’s recent initiative of the Mindset programme, promoted by leadership and governors, is successful in developing such qualities as well as other more intellectual ones…from the EYFS onwards…’
• ‘The moral awareness of the pupils, underpinned by the school’s Catholic ethos, is extremely well-developed.’
• ‘Behaviour throughout the school was observed to be exemplary and demonstrated most effectively the leadership’s commitment to kindness in the life of the school.’
• ‘The social development of the pupils is excellent, with boarding playing a central role in this development.’

Headmaster, Charlie Minogue said, “This report highlights both the historical strengths of Moor Park together with the improvements to the school made over the last few years, made possible due to the excellent working relationships between staff, pupils and parents. It is well-deserved recognition of the hard work contributed by everyone.”
