The Moor Allerton Journey
At Moor Allerton, children do more than learn—they are part of a community that fosters curiosity, resilience, and creativity. From their first steps in Pre-School (ages 2-4), where a love of learning begins, through active engagement in the broad curriculum of our Pre-Prep (ages 5-6), and onward to Prep (ages 7-11), children are nurtured to grow as ambitious, compassionate, and capable individuals. Each stage is designed to inspire growth, belonging, and the confidence to explore their unique potential.
