School strengths:

Strong music
Musicianship Programme - offers each music student a course that develops musical knowledge, understanding, creativity and rigorous musicianship skills.

Barbirolli Music Society - society has been created to extend the flourishing music department at Moreton by bringing a wealth of new and exciting opportunities to students. Moreton’s musicians will have the opportunity to further their studies to the very highest level through coaching from a series of masterclasses and workshops run by visiting professional musicians.

STEM and Medicine
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) enjoy a high profile across the school. Over the last few years, an average of 65% of the girls have taken at least 1 STEM A Level, 37% have taken 2 or more; 22% 3 or more, and a hardy cohort of 4% study 4 STEM A Levels. There are 3 key reasons for this success. Firstly, Moreton boasts a rich mix of extraordinary teachers built around a core of experienced life-long educators together with some late arrivals to the profession, including an engineer and an RAF Navigator. Secondly, the Principal and the Governors have invested heavily in Moreton’s STEM facilities. The new Science Block is outstanding and its forerunner was completely refurbished to form a new Mathematics Block. The third, and final, reason is perhaps the most exciting. The enrichment programme at Moreton is exceptional and it includes a keen focus on STEM. A fortnightly series of evening lectures on subjects as diverse as Forensic Dentistry and Spinal Surgery; Science routinely draws sizable audiences. Weekly after-school activities
including the Jenner, Mendeleev and Brunel Societies (Medics, Chemists and Engineers respectively) are all extremely popular. At Moreton Hall: “Girls do STEM!”

Drama and Arts
Shortlisted for the Independent Schools of the Year awards in Drama 2020, Kate Howells, Head of Drama at Moreton Hall commented: “This really is a testament to the continuing hard work and passion that is so evident from within the Arts Department at Moreton. So many skillful and talented people work collaboratively to produce outstanding events and opportunities for not only Moreton pupils, but to the wider community. I am super proud of everyone and this couldn’t have come at a better time.” Moreton Hall has been recognised for the first class educational experience its pupils are receiving through the school’s transformative and innovative projects and programmes.

Moreton Hall is a destination of choice for vibrant and exciting Performing Arts across the
community. The popularity of its Face2Face performance academy attracts over 70 budding actors and performers from the community aged nine to eighteen and offers performances in professional theatres, workshops with TV and theatre professionals and competitions. The development of performing arts at Moreton has manifested in the creation of a £1.45 million Community Theatre, providing a cultural flagship extending arts, music and drama to surrounding areas.

This is who we are: a forward-looking and ambitious community that instils in all its pupils a desire to achieve, a confidence to tackle new challenges and a compassion for the world we live in. Moreton remains devoted to these values and provides the opportunities to nurture them in every pupil so that they can learn how effective they are in building self-confidence and wellbeing, resilience and relationships for life.

Our pupils achieve stunning success in examinations and we achieve some of the best results in the region with pupils making extraordinary progress. In addition to demonstrating academic ambition through our Bronwen, Jenner and Lady Barbirolli Societies, pupils imagine and realise their own publications such as Mad Scientist and The Historian. A genuine sense of fun, creativity and originality pervades the school from boarding house to Holroyd Community Theatre stage via circus big top. Our community seeks fulfilment through kindness to others, charitable work and community partnerships with over 30 local schools and organisations. It’s no coincidence that we are placed in the top 35 schools nationally for sport, which at Moreton is enjoyed by all, alongside punching well above our weight in national competitions.
