“Today’s exam results are worth celebrating, and we are incredibly proud of what our pupils have achieved. But they are just one part of the story. At Morrison’s Academy, we take pride not only in our pupils’ academic success, but in the kind, curious and resilient young people they are becoming. These qualities will carry them far beyond the classroom, and we are proud to call them Morrisonians.”

Guided by the school’s ethos of ‘Developing the Whole Child’, this year’s results reflect not only academic excellence but the personal growth, resilience, and strong character pupils develop throughout their time at Morrison’s Academy. Their success is supported by the expertise and dedication of the teaching staff and the unwavering encouragement of families.

The school celebrates not only those with the top grades, but every pupil who has worked hard to grow and reach their potential. The motto, Ad Summa Tendendum, which translates to Strive for the Highest, is exemplified daily by pupils. Morrisonians aim high and give their best in all that they do.

The school offers its warmest congratulations to all pupils and wishes its leavers every success as they embark on university, further education, apprenticeships, travel or exciting new opportunities. Their time at Morrison’s Academy has equipped them with the confidence, skills and values they need to thrive, and the school looks forward to seeing where their journey takes them next.
