We also hope that the enrichment programme, opportunities for responsibility and extra-curricular activities will ensure that you develop more than just your academic abilities.At Moulsham we will give you every opportunity to succeed. Like many students that have gone before you we hope you will continue this strong tradition and take the next step into higher education and the workplace.
