Since the previous inspection, there have been significant changes in staffing. The appointments of nearly all teachers and a new senior leadership team have taken place since the last inspection. In February 2018, governors appointed the deputy headteacher of Moorside Junior School to the post of acting headteacher. She is also acting headteacher of Moorside Junior School.
