When we ask Moor Park pupils what their favourite subject is, Design and Technology is always up there as one of the most popular lessons. However, DT isn’t just about 'making things' – it’s about thinking creatively, solving problems, and bringing ideas to life into something tangible. Through DT lessons, our pupils learn: 💚 How to turn imagination into practical solutions 💛 Hands on skills using tools and different materials 💚 Teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving 💛 The joy of trial and error At Moor Park, we believe these skills are essential for curious, confident, and capable learners – which is why our pupils start DT lessons right from Reception. They make their way once a week to our impressive DT Lab and under the expert guidance of our wonderful teacher, Mr Pearson, even our youngest learners get the chance to invent, create, and explore. Here’s to the designers, engineers, and innovators of the future – they’re already hard at work! #DesignTechnology #PrimaryEducation #STEM #CreativityInAction #FutureInventors #AcademicExcellence (fb)

Our second Year 8 Leavers' Camp camp took us to North Wales, where adventure came wrapped in tents, soaked in rain, and served with buckets of courage and laughter. From the moment we arrived at the stunning, hand-crafted site created by our incredible hosts, we knew we were in for something extraordinary. Yes, the weather was biblical at times — think Noah’s Ark, but with more wild swimming! 🌧️🌊 But our Year 8s showed unshakable grit: pitching tents, washing up in rivers, swimming under waterfalls, and even braving a beach dip. Add in paddle boarding, fire building, "Traitors" games, endless card tournaments, and legendary campfire moments — and you've got the kind of experience that shapes character. On the Sunday, under stormy skies and guided by mountain leader Jo, the children pulled together like never before to climb Snowdon (the highest mountain in Wales and second highest in the UK). Every encouraging word, every muddy step, and every determined push to the top used that resilience that Moor Park pupils are so famous for. To our brilliant Year 8s: you showed strength, wisdom, and resilience in every muddy sock and windswept grin we couldn’t be prouder of you. 💪💙 📸 Swipe to see just how epic it was. (fb)
