Moortown Primary is a ‘single-form entry’ school. This means we take only one class each year and so have one class in each year group. Classes are limited to a maximum of 30 children in Reception, Year 1 and 2 (like all schools), and classes in Years 3 to 6 are usually around this size, too.
Key information about the day-to-day running of Moortown Primary School can be found here – everything from the price of a school dinner to important dates in the school year. If there remains something that you still need to know, we’re always happy to answer any questions you may have – call in or contact us.

Year 5 have been identifying and selecting different types of figurative language. This is to help them when they come to write their narratives about a sculpture coming to life.
We then turned into detectives and found figurative language in an example text.
Help at home: Identify the different types of figurative language in the text above or create your own examples.
