It is also an excellent employer; we care for and value our staff. All staff at Moat are committed to supporting our students to achieve the best possible outcomes; academically and pastorally

Mr B Killeen

Principal

The College

Moat Community College provides a caring and supportive environment. We aim to create and take advantage of all opportunities. We develop students intellectually, physically, morally and socially. We provide an excellent and inclusive academic education, enabling all students to develop their abilities as fully as possible. We support our students to become confident, kind, hard working, tolerant and positive individuals.


Values at Moat

The college has consulted with staff, students, and governors to produce a set of college values.

These will be followed by all members of the college community and will be used to inform all areas of college life. It was very pleasing how much agreement there was between all those consulted on what were the values of the school.

Safeguarding at Moat

Moat Community College fully recognises the contribution it can make to protect children and support students in college. The aim of the college is to safeguard and promote our students’ welfare, safety and health by fostering an honest, open, caring and supportive climate. The students’ welfare is of paramount importance.

Safeguarding is a term which is broader than ‘child protection’ and relates to the action taken to promote the welfare of children and young people up to the age of 18 and to protect them from harm. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
