From the Moorcroft Wood Primary School
Welcome to the webpage for our school. You can get a sense of what Moorcroft Wood stands for and aspires to by reading this. We are a school that really does see itself at the heart of the community be it from teaching children to running classes for parents to opening the doors of the school library on a Saturday morning. Learning takes many guises - we not only focus upon the academic side of life but also spend a lot of time, effort and money on enriching our children's (and the community's) lives. We hold ourselves, our kids, and parents in high regard. We believe that in order to succeed we have a responsibility to nurture, feed and grow our children both academically and through wider opportunities - we have our own cub pack running on a Friday, we all sing at Walsall town hall as well as visiting such exciting places such as Stonehenge, York, Llandudno and climbing Snowdon and lest not forget all the animals and our fantastic outdoor learning environment. Please explore our website to learn more, and consider following us on social media to see what we're up to! .
