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.

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.
