Parents Association

Fostering Friendly Relations

All parents and guardians of Morrison’s Academy pupils automatically become members of Morrison’s Academy Parents’ Association (MAPA).

The Parents’ Association was founded to promote a connection between the school and parents in the interests of the well-being of all pupils. Throughout the year, events and gatherings are organised by the MAPA committee with the aim of fostering friendly relations amongst parents and between parents and the school.

Events include a Family BBQ and Christmas Fayre. MAPA also provides refreshments at school events such as musical productions and Saturday sports fixtures at Dallerie. At Sports Day, MAPA runs the very popular ‘Pimms Tent’. They also fundraise for the school and sponsor the Primary School Christmas parties.

Dallerie Café

During terms 1 and 2, from September to March, MAPA organises the ‘café’ at Dallerie Playing Fields on Saturday mornings, providing welcome hot drinks & bacon rolls to spectators and players, both home and visiting. Many a frozen-fingered parent has been mightily relieved to wrap their fingers around a hot coffee while standing on a frosty sideline!

Nearly New Shop

MAPA also operates a Nearly New Shop selling good-quality items of school uniform (including sports equipment) at much-reduced prices.
MAPA have extensive stock of most items and are strict about quality control, disposing of any clothing that is not in good condition, so parents can buy with confidence.

Sports Day Marquee

MAPA runs the marquee at Sports Day every summer serving Pimms, tea, coffee, home baking (generously donated by wonderful parents) and strawberries & cream. It’s another great day bringing the Morrison’s community together and MAPA is delighted to be part of it.

Supporting the School

MAPA uses the money raised at the Christmas Fayre, Dallerie Café, Nearly New Shop and Sports Day to provide refreshments at school events throughout the year and to support projects across the school.

Getting Involved

If you would like to join the MAPA committee, they would be delighted to have you. MAPA are always keen to have parents who want to get involved and will welcome you with open arms.
