Headteacher's Welcome

I am very proud as the Headteacher, to welcome and introduce you to Great Moor Junior School.

Great Moor Junior School is a co-educational community Junior School and our pupils are with us for four years (Years 3 – 6). During this time we hope to make learning fun and enjoyable for everyone, helping children to become enthusiastic and confident in their learning, developing a wide range of skills and knowledge as well as a positive attitude.

We consider our school to be a team in which everyone has an important role to play: governors, staff, parents and children working together to ensure the best possible learning outcomes for our children.

We hope you find the information on this website useful. If you would like the opportunity to visit our school you are very welcome to come and have a look around – please contact us to make arrangements.

If you have any further queries please don’t hesitate to contact us.

We look forward to meeting you.

Accelerated Reading - Kilross Primary School

Accelerated Reader Programme

Great Moor Junior School is now part of the Accelerated Reader programme.
Click the link here to go to our AR site https://ukhosted113.renlearn.co.uk/6706574

All of the children have a ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development) level in their Reading Record and they can choose from a range of books within that level to find one that they will enjoy. Children can also search for suitable books on the AR Bookfind website via this LINK or read one of the 6000 online texts in myON.co.uk so there is plenty of choice! Children should have their log in details.. The children gain points and improve their ZPD level by correctly answering the online quizzes (that test comprehension) for their books so they can see their progress which is very motivating. They also love taking the quizzes!
