Moorlands Primary School, Huddersfield
Moorlands Primary School is a large, vibrant school with a strong, nurturing and ambitious ethos and a clear commitment to high expectations and high achievement for every pupil. The school’s focus on inclusive teaching and learning aligns closely with the principles behind Chatta, making it an ideal setting to showcase the approach in action.
As a Chatta Hub School, Moorlands hosts classroom demonstrations and information sessions for visiting teachers and leaders. These visits offer a chance to see how the school uses Chatta to strengthen spoken language, deepen understanding, and support pupils’ confidence, independence and outcomes across the curriculum.
Why Chatta?
Moorlands chose to work with Chatta because of its simple structure, strong modelling, and the way it supports pupils to think, talk and write with clarity. Staff recognised that Chatta’s focus on oracy, vocabulary and scaffolding complements the school’s commitment to removing barriers to learning and creating positive opportunities for every pupil.
Teachers quickly saw the impact. Chatta has helped pupils make connections, explain their ideas, and approach challenges with greater confidence.
What’s Changed?
Since embedding Chatta across the school:
- Pupils speak with greater confidence and accuracy.
- Vocabulary knowledge and use have strengthened across subjects.
- Teachers use Chatta’s visual structure to support explanations and planning.
- Pupils show greater independence and clearer understanding in their work.
- Improvements are evident across reading, writing and wider curriculum outcomes.
The approach has been particularly powerful for pupils who benefit from structure, repetition and clear modelling, supporting Moorlands’ commitment to ensuring every child succeeds.
