Moor House School & College is a highly specialist educational placement which provides individualised, targeted, and specialist education to a specific population of children who have significant and pervasive language disorders and/or speech disorders with average learning potential. The school therefore meets the needs of a discrete pupil population and undertakes very careful and detailed assessment before offering any pupil a place.
