Public Services is a relatively new faculty to Moreton School, being established in order to meet the needs of our students who show an interest in serving the public. Many of our students contribute to the community both inside and outside of school through establishments and initiatives such as; Armed forces Cadets, Sports leadership schemes, volunteering in the community, Wolverhampton Youth Council, School Council, Especially Happy Holidays, etc. Our subject allows students to gain accreditation for their hard work in these areas.

Public Services courses are optional and can be chosen by students studying in KS4 and KS5. All qualifications aim to equip students with the knowledge, understanding and skills required for success when moving towards a career in the services. Personal skills, including; teamwork, communication, organisation and planning are fundamental to student’s success when studying Public Services.
