We are proud to be a part of the Amethyst Academies Trust having joined in March 2017.  Our aim is to provide the very best educational experience for the children of Wolverhampton, which will enable them to become well-rounded individuals who are well prepared for future employment.   To achieve this aim we will be working together as a team alongside families, local primary schools and the wider community.

In our school, every pupil matters.  Every single one deserves the very best education so that they can take their place in the world with confidence and success.  We believe that our knowledge rich curriculum is the essential tool in achieving this and it is at the heart of everything that we do.

Our curriculum is designed to ensure that it is:

  • Challenging and knowledge-rich
  • Creative and engaging
  • Meaningful and purposeful

Academic success is key to increasing the life chances of our students.  We work hard to ensure that all children reach their academic potential in a safe and supportive environment.  In addition, we provide many opportunities for our students to develop as well rounded individuals by taking part in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities ranging from music and sporting activities to experiencing Japanese culture, improving gaming skills, debating or learning chess. Our extensive offer takes place before, during and after the school day and is a hugely important part of life here at Moreton. In addition, numerous residential trips occur throughout the year; Paris, Barcelona and Whitemoor Lakes are regular favourites amongst the students and staff!

Please see our Twitter feed for further insights into daily life at Moreton.  I would be very pleased to welcome you to our school to watch ‘Team Moreton’ in action and see for yourself how we bring ‘education to life’.
