Moreland operates a ‘soft start’ the day for all pupils. Children are encouraged to arrive at school at 8.50 a.m. and go straight to their classrooms. We don’t ask children to line up. The children are allowed to come straight into the classroom. The children are provided with an activity that will allow them to begin the day in a positive way.
