We are ‘a little school with big ideas’ located in a beautiful rural village near Sandy. We provide children with a rich and exciting education which is relevant to them and which develops their skills and abilities. Our size means children are treated as individuals. We put the children at the heart of everything we do.

The environment we provide is nurturing and caring. We ensure there are no barriers to learning. We believe children need to be nurtured and developed as individuals to enable them to become lifelong learners and good citizens.

We are a highly successful school built on the partnership between pupils, parents/guardians, staff and the local community, due to our shared vision of high expectations. We, as a school, pride ourselves in ensuring that we achieve quality in all that we do. Our purpose is to work together to create a positive learning environment in which all pupils can realise their full potential. We encourage and support all our pupils and in return we expect high standards of work, conduct and appearance.

Moggerhanger Primary is a Values school and we believe this moral education underpins good behaviour and is a foundation stone of our school. The school is a fantastic learning environment that we continually improve and enhance. The staff, governors and children take great pride in working together to do this.

We are a forest school and make the most of the outside environment for lessons as much as possible.
