Positive return to campus for Morrison’s pupils
Morrison’s Academy’s priority is balancing an exceptional education with the health, wellbeing and safety of its community.
During lockdown, all pupils continued their lessons virtually, using the school’s successful Virtual Learning Environment.
Live, online lessons enabled pupils to continue to follow their timetables and learn during lockdown, while our passionate, innovative teachers used a variety of channels to deliver lessons, keep pupils engaged and make sure all pupils were on track with their coursework.
All S4-S6 pupils have now returned to campus full time and are ready for their exam assessments. From March 22, exam year pupils will complete a three-week block of assessment in all subjects.
This will be followed by further assessments in the summer term.
Positive spirits, flexible attitudes and the success of the school’s online platforms, where academic and pastoral support was balanced, means that each pupil is confident and ready to start their assessments.
In preparation for the full time return to campus, the S1-S3 pupils are currently enjoying a combination of remote learning, in school learning and two days a week-worth of outdoor activities and adventures until the Easter holiday. The outdoor activities include sports camps, bushcraft, canoeing, climbing, hiking and team challenges.
This programme offers plenty of fresh air, a chance for pupils to catch up in person and an important break from screens.
This gentle re-introduction to campus life has been welcomed by pupils and parents alike.
The noise, buzz and very happy faces around campus alone, are proof of a very positive return.
