The Jane Moore Trust
The Jane Moore Trust is a charitable organisation established in 1991 offering a range of responsive services that include education, employability, social enterprise, social housing, and access to psychological support for children and young people.
Education
At Moore House Group Dunkeld Campus we aim to provide sector-leading residential and education provision for neurodiverse children and young people aged 5 to 18, who require highly specialised teaching, bespoke pastoral care and a range of dedicated services, including Speech & Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Psychological Interventions.
Our children and young people may not have been able to sustain mainstream school placements, but our small class sizes, combined with individualised and bespoke curriculum pathways ensures that they maximise their potential and fulfil their aspirations at Moore House Group Dunkeld Campus.
Our campus is located in a calm, rural environment near Dunkeld, where we provide specialist:
- Day education
- Residential care and education
- Virtual learning through our Virtual Academy
- Outreach education
- Therapeutic support
We are delighted that our new Primary School is now open which allows us to admit pupils aged 5 to 18.
Therapeutic Services
Our Therapeutic Services support young adults who have previously attended Moore House Group education provisions, resided within one of their residential services or fostering families.
Our specialised team aims to provide the correct advice and support, at the right time, for any young adult who has moved on from Moore House Group.
During the transition into independent living, we will be there every step of the way. We believe that building trusting loving relationships constructs a platform to enable us to provide a tailored personalised service up to the age of 26.
We aim to develop our young people’s personal skills and resilience to make a positive, healthy and successful transition into adulthood.
Our team is based in West Lothian providing services across Scotland.
- Navigate through life transitions
- Promote sustainable Employment & Education outcomes
- Provide all aspects of housing support
- Advocate on behalf of service users
- Offer and provide practical, personal, emotional and social support
- Increase skills and abilities to encourage positive changes and choices

Volunteer
Volunteers serve as invaluable pillars of support, contributing to the holistic development and well-being of our children and young people. Their dedication and compassion create a nurturing environment where every child/young person feels valued and empowered to succeed. Through their efforts, volunteers offer individualised attention, tailored support, and mentorship, addressing the unique needs of our children & young people. In our schools, volunteers are not just helpers; they are champions of diversity, advocates for inclusion, and catalysts for positive change. If this is you, then look no further! The Moore House Group – Dunkeld Campus is thrilled to invite passionate individuals like you to join our vibrant team of volunteers.
At Moore House Academy Dunkeld, we are incredibly proud of our teacher, Ola, who is making a selfless and meaningful contribution to charity. 💇♀️
Ola has decided to cut off her long hair and donate it to the Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides real-hair wigs to ...children who have lost their hair due to illness or medical treatment.
In addition to donating her hair, Ola is also raising £700 to cover the cost of making one wig!

🔋 As part of #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek, Craig led a presentation on Energy Accounting during assembly. This concept helps our young people understand how to balance their energy levels, recognise what drains them, and find activities that help them recharge.
🧠 What is Energy ...Accounting?
Think of your energy like a bank account—some activities withdraw energy, while others deposit it. Keeping a balance helps prevent burnout and stress!
💥 Energy Drainers (Withdrawals):
❌ Big crowds
❌ Loud environments
❌ Unexpected changes
❌ Social situations that go on too long
🌿 Energy Boosters (Deposits):
✅ Listening to calming music
✅ Spending quiet time in nature
✅ Reading a book
Craig encouraged everyone to track their own energy withdrawals and deposits to help them stay balanced and avoid burnout.
💡 Key Takeaways:
✔ Recognise what drains you
✔ Plan activities that help you recharge
✔ Set boundaries and listen to your body
A huge thank you to Craig for sharing such an important lesson! By understanding our energy levels, we can improve well-being, reduce stress, and feel more in control of our daily lives.

This #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek, we’re reminded why bespoke education and child-centred teaching matter so much. Every child deserves an education that works for them, where they feel understood, supported, and excited to learn.
One parent shared how, after years of struggles and ...setbacks, their child was actually excited to go to school at Moore House Group Dunkeld Campus. That moment of finally feeling safe, welcomed, and in the right environment was life-changing for their whole family. 🌟

🌿 As we continue to observe #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek, we want to reflect on how calm, natural surroundings can make a positive difference for neurodivergent children and young people.
Research shows that spending time outdoors can reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and ...support sensory processing; which are all key for creating environments where neurodivergent young people can truly thrive.
At Moore House Group, we see these benefits every day at our Dunkeld Campus. Surrounded by woodlands and open spaces, it provides a peaceful, grounding environment where young people can feel safe, build confidence, and develop essential life skills.
Creating inclusive spaces isn’t just about adapting indoor environments—it’s about recognising the power of the outdoors too. 💚

🌿 At Moore House Group Dunkeld Campus, we’re always looking for ways to blend creativity, sustainability, and innovation—and our latest project is a perfect example!
Our talented groundsman, Nikolay, has handcrafted a stunning planter from storm-damaged branches found on the school ...grounds. This unique piece not only showcases incredible craftsmanship but also reflects our commitment to recycling and upcycling.
CEO Dr. Stephen Drysdale proudly supported this initiative, stating: "This handcrafted planter is a beautiful example of how we can creatively recycle and give new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste."
The proceeds from this planter will help fund our next garden project, reinforcing our dedication to environmentally friendly initiatives. ♻️
