Moorlands School

Barnfield Moorlands Free School

Moorlands School was founded in 1891. It was originally located in the town centre before moving to Dunstable Road. It grew steadily over the following decades, until further expansion ultimately led to a relocation in 1958 to Leagrave Hall, a former home of the Filmer family.

In September 2011 Moorlands converted its status from an independent school to a government Free School, to allow our high standard of education within small classes to be accessed by a wider range of families within the community.

Moorlands has the reputation of being a happy and friendly school, which we hope is well deserved. The school aims to provide its curriculum to meet the needs of the individual child. It provides a stimulating environment in which pupils receive the desirable amount of individual attention. In such circumstances the talents of every child are encouraged to develop.

Further to our change to Free School status from September 2011, Moorlands is proud to be part of the Barnfield Federation. With effect from January 2012 we will be known as Barnfield Moorlands Free School. To find out more about the Academies and Schools within the Federation please click here http://www.barnfield.ac.uk
