About Us
Where are we?
In Wallasey, which is part of the Wirral Local Education Authority and falls within the Merseyside Excellence in Cities area, identified by the Government as in need of particular financial support. Neither a leafy suburb, nor an inner city, but somewhere between the two.
What kind of school is Mosslands?
Mosslands is a successful community school which provides a truly comprehensive education for some 1,480 boys aged from 11 to 19 and which achieves excellent results at GCSE and post 16. The large Sixth Form of over 240 offers places to girls, and prides itself on the range and quality of its academic and vocational provision. On average, over 70% of our Upper Sixth leavers progress to higher education each year.
We are an innovative school – for example, our College/Work Experience programme for 15 year olds provides an alternative to the traditional GCSE provision for appropriate youngsters in this age group.
Mosslands is well regarded also for its provision for pupils with special educational needs. Currently over 230 pupils with varying special needs receive an education which is appropriate and helps them to achieve to the best of their abilities.
The school aims to provide a range of opportunities in a caring and structured manner. We believe that all young people have an entitlement to learn in a safe and non-threatening environment.
Our watchwords are Care, Commitment and Challenge. We aim to provide a caring, but disciplined and orderly environment for pupils. We look for a shared commitment by pupils, staff and parents to the value of learning. We present the challenge of high academic and behavioural standards.
