Job Description
Background
Moor Park is an IAPS, co-educational, boarding and day school of Catholic foundation accepting pupils from 3 months to 13 years of age. Children from 3 months to rising three are catered for in our Tick Tock nursery/childcare setting which runs for 50 weeks in the year. Thereafter, children enter the Lower School until the end of Year 2. The Middle and Upper Schools complete a Moor Park education before the children leave to the full range of senior schools both locally and nationally. Being a boarding school for the 8 to 13 year olds, the school operates on a 24/7 basis during term time.
The school is built around a magnificent 18th century country mansion in approximately 85 acres of stunning grounds, which include playing fields, woodland and a lake. It is situated just outside the market town of Ludlow in the beautiful Shropshire countryside.
Moor Park is renowned for its happiness, atmosphere and pastoral care. Relations between pupils and staff are relatively informal, but mutually respectful: children are encouraged to voice their views and opinions. Recent years have seen more than average numbers of leavers gaining scholarships to a variety of senior schools, the diversity of awards, academic, music, sport, all-round or art, testifying to the breadth of education on offer. Emphasis is upon the individual, finding and encouraging aptitude and talent. The founding values and traditions of the school are Catholic, and this is adhered to today, although 25% of pupils (and not all staff) are Catholic. The Headmaster is himself not a Catholic. The Christian principles that underpin the school’s philosophy are ever more valuable in the twenty-first century, and this is attractive to many parents, of all creeds and denominations.
