Moreton Hall is an aspirational, joyous and nurturing school, where belonging and ambition are intrinsically intertwined. Ours is a school that is innovative, creative and sparky on one hand, and incredibly warm, familial and empathetic on the other.
Moreton nurtures in its pupils a grounded self-confidence, the willingness to give everything a go and the self-belief to tackle any challenge head-on. A fizzy atmosphere of fun and enterprise threads through all corners of the school, from the boarding houses and classrooms via the Holroyd Community Theatre and across the sports pitches. Our focus on building character over compliance fosters a can-do approach to life shared by all Moretonians. We are unencumbered by petty rules as our community is underpinned by mutual trust. Resultantly, our pupils are free to be their authentic selves, ready to explore and achieve their ambitions.
We set academic expectations high and expertly guide each pupil to develop intellectual independence alongside emotional intelligence. As a result, our pupils enjoy superb academic success and secure places at the nation’s most competitive universities. All disciplines are equally valued and our pupils progress into a diverse range of fields, from national and international sports teams to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and Oxbridge. Moretonians leave the school with a thirst for new experiences, a deep confidence in their abilities and the courage and good judgment needed to make an impact on the national and global stage.
We were thrilled to be named Boarding School of the Year 2021 by the prestigious Tes Independent School Awards. The Lead Judge praised Moreton’s commitment to its pupils and community and said it “is an exemplar of all that a great boarding school can be.”
Guided by 100 years of exceptional experience, in some ways Moreton operates more like a start-up company than a traditional boarding school. We continually evolve and innovate to create meaningful opportunities for our pupils. Our extensive co-curricular programme is agile to today’s discourse and provides each pupil with choices tailored to their interests and abilities.
The mutually respectful and trusting relationship between pupils, staff and our families lies at the heart of Moreton’s success. Our exceptional teaching and pastoral staff encourage, support and challenge Moretonians to make progress beyond whatever they thought possible. Their dedication to the pupils, passion for their subjects and professionalism leave an indelible positive impression on each pupil, equipping them to successfully navigate a competitive, fast-paced global future.
