MOORFIELD SCHOOL and NURSERY
Head required for May 2025
The Governors are seeking to appoint an inspirational Head to lead the school through the next stage of its development.
Moorfield School is a successful, independent, co-educational IAPS prep school with pupils from Nursery to Year 6, situated in the beautiful town of Ilkley with enviable views across the Wharfe Valley.
It prides itself on being a family school which maintains a friendly, caring environment while at the same time achieving high standards and outstanding academic successes. The school is non-selective and its strong ethos has threaded its way through the school’s history encouraging kindness, confidence and responsibility.
Founded in 1930, Moorfield moved to its present site in 1960. Careful investment by the Governors over many decades has resulted in an impressive building and grounds. Our most recent ISI inspection in December 2021 found this school to be fully compliant with all current regulations, rating our educational quality as ‘excellent’. Our child-led approach to our youngest pupils has a ringing endorsement from professional external moderators. All Year 6 children proceed confidently to their first choice of senior school.
Moorfield School is an exciting place to work. The loyal and dedicated staff is well supported by a proactive Governing Body.
