School Governors

Our Board of Governors works together with staff and parents to develop the high quality of education associated with Morrison’s Academy.

The Board is made up of individuals who are specialists in their field, with extensive experience in education, business and other related professions.

The Board can call on a wide range of expertise and experience to shape the strategic future of the school, as well as ensure the effective management of the school through the Senior Leadership Team.

Donald Macdonald, FCBI

Chairman

Donald, a former pupil, is recently retired from a career in banking having worked with several financial organisations across the UK and Europe, latterly with Lloyds Banking Group as Head of Legal & Regulatory Change.

Donald is a Morrisonian and is the third consecutive Chair of Governors from the class of 1983. This continuity highlights the strong and lasting influence Morrison’s Academy has on its pupils and the enduring connection they maintain with the school.

In addition to his role with the school, he currently chairs the Board of Trustees of YMCA Edinburgh and works with the Trussell Trust in West Fife.
His hobbies include climbing Munros with his dog, curling, yoga, working as a film and television extra, and later this year will take part in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race as a novice sailor.
He and his partner Hazel have 5 children between them, most now fully through various levels of tertiary education – but not yet off the payroll.

Donald serves on the Governor Appointments, Strategy, Finance and HR Committees.
