We benefit from fantastic grounds and facilities, including excellent and regularly-updated ICT and an all-weather multi-sports pitch, and the Trust is in a strong position to make sure that our staff and students want for nothing.
Moreton School is part of the Amethyst Trust, which has expanded significantly over the past few years to now encompass five schools in a growing and thriving Trust partnership.

The Amethyst Trust is at the forefront of educational thinking, with innovative teaching with a knowledge-rich edge along with progressive ideas on feedback and staff wellbeing, including a very well received early finish on Fridays.
