Welcome to the webpage for Morecambe Bay C.P. School.
We are extremely proud of our school, the excellent students it educates, and the neighbourhood it serves.
Children are inspired to become effective lifelong learners, responsible citizens, and self-assured people in our vibrant, interesting learning environment.
In order to make learning truly seductive, we urge our young people to become self-reliant, enthusiastic learners with great expectations.
A rich, dynamic, and contemporary curriculum is used by the faculty and community to prepare our kids for life in a constantly changing world.
Our educational programme is intended to foster an understanding of how lovely each of them is, how wonderful it is to live and learn in the stunning Morecambe Bay, and how priceless our world is.
An immersive learning room, film studio, performing arts studio, sensory room, culinary technology room, and a substantial amount of outdoor play and learning resources are just a few of the amenities we have access to thanks to a significant renovation that took place in 2012.
We take great satisfaction in the attention we give to our kids, teenagers, and their extended families.
Everyone who comes to our school is always taken aback by the upbeat and lively environment.
For all of our students, Morecambe Bay School emphasises five fundamental principles.
I hope you enjoy browsing our website and find a lot of it to be interesting and informative. Take some time to read some of the children's reviews and viewpoints, and take a look at some of our films and podcasts, all of which were produced and edited by the students at our school and which give a good sense of what life is like at our school and the values we uphold.
