The Morley Academy

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. A Trust, led by Sir John Townsley, which prides itself on providing the highest standard of education to all students, regardless of their background. Indeed, we believe that those who have the least should be given the most. We achieve this through providing all students, but particularly those who have the most challenging and complex backgrounds, with a rigorous and academic education which challenges them, not only academically, but also in terms of their place in society. We believe that this will prepare them for life not only in Britain, but across the world.
