Moreton Hall
est. 1913

You may have preconceptions about what a traditional
boarding school education is like - but Moreton Hall is a
school like no other.

From the moment you enter the 100 acres of school grounds,
you can embrace the ‘Moreton Magic’ and discover the
infectious positivity and energy which is threaded through
the classrooms, across the sports pitches and onto the stage.

One of the many things which makes us so special is that there
is no typical Moretonian; we are a wonderful community,
bound together with a strong set of shared values, whilst
each of us maintains our own individuality.

Success comes in many different forms and our aim is to
celebrate and acknowledge this. Our pupils excel across
all areas of school life and take advantage of the myriad of
opportunities. They are encouraged to take responsibility for
themselves and develop skills such as public speaking and
entrepreneurship during their time with us. Our pupils are
self-confident and self-reliant without being arrogant. They

are generous with their support of each other and of the
community and their imagination knows no bounds.

Moreton has long been a values-driven school with a strong
family ethos, right back to its foundation by Ellen Lloyd
- Williams in 1913. With appropriate respect to our heritage
and looking ahead to the future, we continue to consider
how we can make the school even better for those who call
it their second home.

This is truly a remarkable place and I look forward to
welcoming you to Moreton.
