Moreton Hall School

Excellent public examination results and encouragement of EPQ research

As a small girls' school, Moreton Hall achieves excellent results in public examinations. Alongside a wide range of subjects, the school upholds the traditional focus on the arts found in British girls' schools, offering art, photography, textile design, art history, and other art subjects for students to choose from. Additionally, the school encourages students to enrol in EPQ (Extended Project Qualification), an interdisciplinary research project that they can undertake as one of their subjects. With guidance from teachers, students conduct independent research on topics of their choice, allowing them to familiarise themselves with the academic research skills required at the university level. This is especially beneficial for students interested in pursuing academic research at universities within the Russell Group, as EPQ is highly regarded by universities.

Emphasis on extracurricular knowledge and various academic societies to broaden students' horizons

While most girls' schools emphasise both academic and extracurricular activities, Moreton Hall aims to expand students' knowledge and broaden their awareness in various fields through activities, lectures, and group learning beyond the regular curriculum. The school's notable "Three Societies—Bronwen, Lady Barbirolli, and Jenner—frequently organise extracurricular academic discussions, professional-level music appreciation events, experiments related to medical science, and academic lectures. It is evident that the school highly values students' absorption of external knowledge and integrates it with their academic studies, allowing students to benefit from both aspects.

Student-run enterprises to provide real business experiences

With expertise in teaching business subjects, Moreton Hall offers both business and economics as part of its A-Level curriculum, which is relatively rare among British boarding schools. To provide students with experiences in planning, organising, and operating in the business world, the school has established Moreton Enterprises, which is entirely run by students. Students take charge of running snack shops and coffee shops, organising roundtable meetings with outstanding businesswomen, and hosting large annual conferences. Through these activities, students develop skills essential in the business world, such as teamwork, event planning, leadership, and risk management. Additionally, these experiences allow students to put their classroom learning into practice in various aspects, which greatly benefits their university applications and future career prospects.
