Awards
Science Success
We are extremely proud to share that we have been awarded with the Primary Science Quality Mark. Miss Hall and Mrs Taylor have worked extremely hard over the past couple of years to lead Science across Moat House and it is a fantastic achievement that acknowledges and recognises Moat House’s commitment and expertise in science leadership, teaching and learning. Look out for the Quality Mark, which you will see in forthcoming letters from the school.
Artsmark: We are really proud that we have just been awarded the gold Artsmark award. We were previously at the silver level and have worked hard to reach this higher level. The Assessors included the following in their feedback: Moat House Primary School has made impressive progress during its Artsmark journey, building a coherent and inclusive creative culture grounded in clear values and thoughtful planning. A particular strength lies in the school’s curriculum design and delivery, with the implementation of the Primary Knowledge Curriculum (PKC) for art and DT leading to improved outcomes, greater staff confidence, and enthusiastic pupil engagement. The use of QR codes in the school’s musical timeline, termly concerts, and integration of musical genres across year groups reflects a consistent and structured approach to embedding the arts in everyday practice. The school’s commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion is also well evidenced.
Music Mark
We have had Music Mark awards annually since 2020, following nomination by the Coventry Music Hub. Children in Years 4, 5 and 6 have had the opportunity to learn a brass instrument, at no cost to themselves. From 2024 we introduced the recorder as our main instrument; children enjoy their lessons and perform termly. We also participate in Young Voices and Coventry Mornings of Music.
Schools can join Music Mark through their local music education hub/service. Each school nominated should meet one or all of the criteria as below:
- evidence of a willingness to engage in development conversations related to improving music provision
- recognition of the value of music education as part of a broad and balanced curriculum
- a strategy for music in place which provides for all children
