At The Morley Academy we are privileged to work and learn in what is not only an Outstanding and World Class school but one which is also the founding academy of The GORSE Academies Trust. We achieve this by offering all students — especially those from the most challenging and complex backgrounds — a rigorous, academic education that extends beyond the classroom. This education challenges them not only intellectually, but also in how they understand their place in society. We believe this approach equips them to thrive in life, both in Britain and across the world.


We are a humble organisation that does not rest on its laurels.  We are always keen to listen and learn and we are eager to work in partnership with students and parents, carers and governors to continue to ensure our provision is the best it can possibly be.  We benefit from expert partnership networks which provide a rich climate for discussion, debate, moderation and the sharing of resources.  Furthermore, through the academy’s SCITT we benefit from working alongside and supporting the development of professionals new to teaching; we recognise the advantages that this offers and relish the opportunity to work collaboratively.


The Morley Academy consistently has a Progress 8 score of well above national average that places us in the top 5% of all schools in England. On average, a student at The Morley Academy achieves more than half a grade higher in every subject in comparison to other students of the same starting point nationally. The attainment of students at The Morley Academy continues to improve year-on-year as we strive to ensure that our students have the gift of choice.
