Yazdans School follows the criteria set down in the National Curriculum culminating in each child taking 9 or more subjects at GCSE. We believe in retaining the best traditional approaches and values in the education of our pupils, in order for them to become well rounded individuals. Our broad based curriculum places a high priority on numeracy and literacy. Every child is given a chance to shine within small teaching groups. There is no streaming or setting in the early years as we feel that all our pupils should have identical opportunities, specialisation is left as late as possible so that career decisions are not made at too early a stage.

YES believes strongly in the value of homework which is set according to the needs and abilities of each child. The amount of homework rises as each child progresses through the school and we work closely with parents via a homework diary that is signed regularly.Reporting and Parental ContactPupils' work is scrutinised on a daily basis. Full reports are sent to parents at the end of each term and report cards are sent at the end of each half term. Quality work and effort is rewarded at all ages throughout the school via merits, certificates and prizes. The Moorland system ensures that every child is working to their potential and also highlights any pupil whose work is giving cause for concern.

Regular parents' evenings are held that give the opportunity to question each teacher privately. Parents are free to contact the Principal or individual teachers at any time. The School can make special arrangements to meet the parents or guardians of boarding children at any time.

There is no streaming or setting in the early years as we feel that all our pupils should have identical opportunities, specialisation is left as late as possible so that career decisions are not made at too early a stage in their development.

The school has excellent facilities to allow pupils to develop their ICT skills to the limit. The School has invested heavily in computers, networking and Internet access. Moorland has its own website (www.moorlandschool.co.uk) which encourages pupils to publish their own work on the Internet and communicate and collaborate with other forward thinking schools around the world

Art and design have a special place in the School curriculum. We a have fully equipped specialist design studio which provide the full range of activities including design, fabric printing, screen printing and pottery to name but a few.

All children take this subject to the end of year 9 and then beyond as an option for GCSE. We believe that our pupils should be equipped for life outside school and in this subject they learn not just about cooking and nutrition.

Even if you think your child has very little musical ability you may be surprised to discover he or she has hidden talents. Classroom tuition is given in singing and percussion work, this leads to further work on electronic music keyboards with the accent on musical literacy for all. As well as performing and listening work, there is also the opportunity to learn the art of composing. The school is also able to offer all necessary preparation for GCSE.Visiting teachers are available to offer a wide range of orchestral instruments, guitar and piano and prepare pupils for graded examinations of the Royal Schools of Music. The school can provide for almost any musical requirement your child may have.
