Our vision is to support young people to access education through the offer of a safe, positive, and nurturing environment in which they can grow academically, socially and emotionally.
Moorfield Learning Centre and our outreach hubs offer something special for young people who may find traditional educational settings challenging to access. We have a proven track record of success in developing learners' confidence, resilience, and academic achievement.
It is with pleasure that I offer
you a warm welcome to Moorfield Learning Centre.
From September, I will be stepping into the role of Headteacher and I feel privileged to be given the opportunity to lead such a special and unique school.
I look forward to working with
the knowledgeable and experienced staff team at Moorfield to provide our young
people with a safe space for academic, social and emotional growth. Our small
numbers mean that we are able to offer a bespoke and personalised educational
experience for our learners – this is what really sets us apart. Everyone at
Moorfield endeavours to ensure that every young person receives the support
they need to thrive in school and beyond.
I also look forward to working with our talented outreach staff, who do an incredible job of providing young people with the opportunity to re-engage with education. Working from our learning hubs, the outreach team support young people from local schools to access educational provision, with a view to re-integrating them into school.
Together, we are committed to making every young person’s school experience the best it can possibly be. I look forward to leading the team to shape bright futures for our learners at Moorfield Learning Centre.
Kind Regards,
Vicky Niblo
Headteacher
At Moorfield Learning Centre, our vision is clear: to provide a safe, positive, and nurturing environment in which young people can grow academically, socially and emotionally. We understand that mainstream school is not the right fit for every student, and we pride ourselves on offering an educational alternative for young people who find the traditional setting challenging.
Bespoke Learning: With small numbers, we can offer a personalised learning package for each young person. This tailored approach allows us to support learners in reaching their full academic potential.
Holistic Development: Beyond academic success, we are dedicated to nurturing all the skills necessary for learners to lead a well-rounded and independent life. Our focus is on emotional growth, social development, and academic achievement.
We believe in fostering strong relationships with our community to create a supportive network for our learners. By working collaboratively with parents, local partnerships, and the wider community, we aim to develop cultural capital and promote social, moral, spiritual, and cultural growth in our students.
At Moorfield Learning Centre, we understand the importance of holistic development. Through engaging music sessions, creative art projects, and exciting outdoor activities, we aim to provide therapeutic experiences that enhance emotional well-being and promote creative expression. These opportunities allow our learners to explore their interests, develop new skills, and build confidence in a supportive setting.
We invite parents, learners, local schools, and the wider community to visit Moorfield Learning Centre for a tour and discussion about what we can offer. Experience first hand our unique approach to education and discover how we can help your child thrive.
Moorfield Learning Centre is proud to have three sites in the Barrow area, each offering a unique and enriching educational experience for our learners.
This site is our main school, although we are not your conventional school! We have intentionally created a setting that does not feel like a traditional school environment. Working closely with young people, we have designed a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere, removing many associations with traditional schooling.
We believe that by creating a unique and nurturing environment, we can better support the holistic development of our learners.
We take a unique approach to learning at our primary hub by spending a significant amount of time outside the classroom. Through various outdoor activities, we provide a hands-on learning experience that connects students with their local environment.
Our dedicated and skilled staff members are committed to providing a safe, positive, and structured environment for our students to grow academically, socially and emotionally. Our staff members are largely based in one setting but work with different learners across various settings throughout the week.

“I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH MY SON’S PROGRESS AT MOORFIELD. HE SEEMS LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CHILD. HE’S HAPPIER, MORE ENGAGED AND WILL OFTEN COME HOME AND SHARE WHAT HE HAS DONE EACH DAY. IT IS SUCH A CHANGE FROM THE ANXIOUS, DEPRESSED PERSON HE WAS BEFORE HE MOVED TO MOORFIELD. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL THE STAFF.”
