Moyles Court Junior School

Moyles Court Junior School provides children with a safe and happy environment for learning. We are a small community aware of the varying needs of each individual child. We endeavour to keep Junior School classes small, thereby ensuring a close working relationship between teachers and pupils.

“We encourage a calm and friendly atmosphere, where
children are respected and valued.”

The beautiful setting of The New Forest makes break times adventurous and magical. Learning, play and extra curricular activities are encouraged throughout the junior years, as we recognise the important role they all play in a child's development. We encourage a calm and friendly atmosphere, where children are respected and valued, allowing them to grow into a successful member of society.

Lessons

Lessons are delivered to make learning enjoyable and purposeful. All core academic subjects are taught through the National Curriculum, mostly by a form teacher, giving the opportunity for cross-curricular links where appropriate. The Junior School has its own library, specifically geared for the younger reader. We are planning to extend this facility to include internet linked computers for research. It is an inviting place for motivating reading and research skills.

We also have use of a dedicated computer suite and superb sports facilities. Children are encouraged with dance, music and singing and have the opportunity of small group lessons within their school day, by expert tutors in these fields. An enticing selection of after school clubs provides children with the opportunity to try out new skills and work alongside other year groups.

New ideas and innovations

We are in the process of implementing the International Primary Curriculum whilst continuing to fulfil all National Curriculum requirements. In an increasingly connected world we believe it is essential to prepare children for life beyond their immediate surroundings and experience. In doing so we aim to help our pupils better appreciate their origins and local community, in a wider context.

Each Junior School class has its own garden plot which they look after, propagate, nurture and harvest . This creates endless opportunities for 'hands on' learning styles. Children thoroughly enjoy the rewards which gardening brings. It helps our pupils to see how plants, flowers and vegetables are grown and realise there is more to food than taking it from a supermarket shelf.

The Junior School Council meets several times a term, representing the views of each class, organising fund raising, social events and meeting the Governors each term to report on their progress. Every child has a voice and opportunity to express their ideas.

Moyles Court Junior School is a co-educational school providing day and boarding facilities. To find out more look around our website and pay us a visit. See you soon!
