Food and Learning
During the week of Monday March 9 2009 we reviewed all aspects of Food at Moorside. We learnt that over 80% of parents think that we are good at teaching students about healthy eating choices. However, we also established that many of our youngsters do not eat well during the day and that this affects their learning and behaviour.
So we've decided to upgrade our catering service even further so that students will feel encouraged to eat healthily at school. We've also decided to stop students bringing sweets and fizzy drinks into college. This new rule will come into effect on Monday July 6 2009.

Parents Give Moorside the Seal of Approval
Moorside parents have awarded Moorside an overwhelming thumbs up.
As part of our quality assurance, we recently conducted a survey of our parents and carers to assess their feelings about the college. We were delighted to be informed by the impartial market research company that our parents gave Moorside the exceptionally high approval rating of 81%. Parents also rated as Outstanding the following aspects of the school: personal development, care and guidance, discipline, curriculum, teaching and learning and leadership and management.
Many thanks to all of you for your support.
A new job has been created for someone to give much needed advice to parents and carers.
