From the Moss Side Primary School
I hope it will be a helpful resource for you to learn more about Moss Side Primary School.
Since 1982, my coworkers and I have been proudly serving the Moss Side neighbourhood and fostering close relationships with the locals.
Many of our families have ties to the school that date back to its inception, and because of this continuity, special goals and ideals have been woven into the fabric of school life.
Staff members offer a rich and active curriculum to all of our students in order to achieve our goals.
We place a lot of emphasis on helping students develop their math and English skills, and these efforts are backed up by consistently outstanding SAT results that are typically at or above the national average.
However, there is much more to this school's existence than that.
At either end of the day, it wouldn't be strange to find students taking part in extracurricular activities like cooking classes, brass lessons, badminton, or coding.
This expansive curriculum has its roots in academic life.
We give both recreational and competitive sports, as well as the performing arts (such as brass concerts, class assemblies, or Christmas productions), a lot of weight. We firmly believe that these are wonderful opportunities for kids to build their self-confidence and teamwork skills, among other things.
Please feel free to schedule a visit if you are a prospective parent and wish to observe school life in person (see our contact page for further details of how to get in touch).
