I looked at Moodle a long time ago for a school application.
I see on their site
"In Moodle, each user has a private files area for uploading and 
managing a set of files."
"Preventing access to Private files

 * To prevent all users having access to Private files, the
   administrator should disable (close the eye) of the repository in
   /Settings>Site administration>Plugins>Repositories>Manage
   repositories./
 * If only students are to be prevented from accessing private files
   (but teachers etc, allowed) then a new
 * role should be made and assigned system wide. See FAQ 6 in
   Repositories FAQ <http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Repositories_FAQ> for
   more information."
