It’s a real pleasure to welcome you to Morrison’s Academy. 

I believe the best schools are those where every young person is known as an individual, encouraged to be ambitious and supported to discover what they are capable of. That belief is at the heart of Morrison’s Academy and is reflected in everything we do. We are proud of our long-standing reputation for academic excellence but we also know that education is about far more than examination results. It is about helping young people discover their strengths, grow in confidence and leave ready to make a positive contribution in whatever they choose to do next. 

As an all-through school, we have the privilege of supporting children throughout their educational journey. Each child’s path is different, and we know that some of the most valuable learning happens when young people step forward, get involved and discover talents they never knew they had. Whether in lessons or across the wider life of the school, we encourage pupils to take part, try new things and find a sense of belonging in our close-knit community. 

One of the things I value most about Morrison’s Academy is its people. Relationships matter here. Pupils are known as individuals and encouraged to challenge themselves in an environment where they feel supported to learn, contribute and grow as Morrisonians. In close partnership with families, we help young people develop the resilience to take on new challenges and the independence to thrive long after they leave. 

Our motto, Ad Summa Tendendum – Strive For The Highest, reflects our commitment to encouraging every pupil to aim high, not in comparison with others, but by becoming the very best version of themselves. 

I hope you have the opportunity to visit Morrison’s Academy and experience our community for yourself. I look forward to welcoming you.
