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.
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.

We see them develop from building and destroying dens in the woods to navigating the challenges they face with relationships and societal expectations around their masculinity, ultimately making their own choices and facing the consequences of those choices.
A beautifully illustrated book about our spiritual connection to animals and nature.’ One of the choices for this year’s Year 7 moat reading rampage.
