Moorfield Primary School has shown significant improvement since its last inspection, moving from requiring improvement to being rated as good overall. Pupils express pride in their school and feel safe, secure, and happy, supported by a nurturing staff. The quality of education is effective, with strong performance in reading, writing, and mathematics, and a curriculum that engages students across various subjects. However, attendance remains an area needing attention as a minority of pupils miss important learning, and some older pupils with SEND have not received timely support in the past.
