Moor House School & College is a highly specialist educational placement which provides individualised, targeted, and specialist education to a specific population of children who have significant and pervasive language disorders and/or speech disorders with average learning potential. The school therefore meets the needs of a discrete pupil population and undertakes very careful and detailed assessment before offering any pupil a place.
At Moor House School and College, we take the safety and welfare of all our students very seriously. Find out more about our Team.
