Moorfield Learning Centre

Moorfield Learning Centre, located in Barrow, Westmorland and Furness, is an independent school catering to a mixed-gender cohort of 12 pupils, with a capacity of 84. The centre is designed to support young people who may struggle in traditional educational settings, providing a safe and nurturing environment that fosters academic, social, and emotional growth. The recent Ofsted report rated the school as 'good' overall, with an 'outstanding' judgement for Behaviour and Attitudes.

The centre comprises three sites: a main school, a secondary outreach hub, and a primary hub. While full-time learners attend the main school, the outreach hubs offer part-time support for students from mainstream schools, allowing them to access tailored educational provisions. This approach is particularly beneficial for those needing a break from conventional schooling or additional support to re-engage with their education.

Moorfield prides itself on its high staff-to-student ratios, enabling personalised learning experiences. The dedicated staff focus on building positive relationships with students, addressing their complex needs, and promoting overall wellbeing, ensuring that each child is emotionally prepared to learn and thrive.
