Friends of Moor House is a voluntary association, with no membership fees or obligations, for those with an interest in the School & College who would like to be kept informed of news and developments. Local residents with no family links to Moor House are especially welcome.

What we do

The association aims to help and support students and staff in various ways from offering advice to practical support. In particular our members have planted and maintained the garden in the quad, have given practice job interviews to College leavers, and have helped find work experience opportunities for School students.

In our foundation year, 2018-19, we introduced two shields to be awarded annually, in the School and the College, to students who have shown special merit in looking outwards to the wider community. 

Members receive a newsletter each term and occasionally other communications, and from time to time we welcome members to an open morning with a tour of the School.

New members are very welcome

Many of our members are former students or their parents. Some have served as members of staff or voluntary governors. And we especially welcome local residents and those who have kindly contributed to fundraising or other activities. 

If you would like to join, please complete our online application form or call us on 01883 712271 to request a paper form to be posted to you. There are no obligations other than to provide your details and consent so we can contact you.
