Continuous learning from tot to teenager
Morrison’s Academy is the only all-through, independent day school in Perthshire for boys and girls aged two to 18 years.
With nursery, primary and secondary pupils all based on one campus, Morrisonians enjoy the benefits of continuity of learning, a seamless and evolutionary educational journey and strong relationships with both peers and staff.
The staff at Morrison’s Academy understand that every child is unique and has their own set of talents waiting to be nurtured and developed.
The school expects a lot from its pupils and is academically selective.
Morrison’s Academy follows the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence and is renowned for outstanding academic results.
However, the school understands that for young people to be successful and thrive, the ability to communicate, work with others, problem solve, persevere, be curious and innovate are essential metaskills in the ever evolving 21st century workplace.
As an independent school, Morrison’s Academy has bolstered their curriculum to develop those skills through bespoke programmes and cocurricular activities.
Morrisonians, from nursery to S6, all experience the ‘Golden Thread’ subjects.
These are outdoor adventures and activities, music, art, sport, STEM, enterprise and the unique Learning for Life programme.
In nursery, Morrisonians can be found in the Games Hall doing gymnastics with the PE staff or singing their hearts out with their music teacher.
In primary, pupils enjoy outdoor adventure days in the Perthshire hills, lessons in the STEM suite with their dedicated STEM teacher experimenting and coding and time in the art studios designing and creating.
In secondary, pupils are busy with the Peter Jones Enterprise Academy.
Morrison’s Academy is the only school in Scotland with this programme, which is designed to develop business and entrepreneurial skills.
The school’s former pupils are not only doctors, lawyers and accountants, but entrepreneurs, Olympians, musicians, costume designers as well as leading lights in the worlds of digital technology and engineering.
The school’s approach to enhancing their academic programmes with experiences
which challenge, inspire and broaden their pupils’ horizons clearly works.
Morrison’s Academy has community at its heart.
As a day school, made up of local families, community events are plentiful.
Morrisonian families are vibrant, friendly and welcoming.
Saturday morning bacon rolls while watching sports, Parents’ Association events, ceilidhs and summer balls, cycling groups, tennis training, parent and child hockey nights, family pitch and putt sessions and more makes Morrison’s
Academy truly a school for all the family and all within an hour of the Central Belt.
Morrison’s Academy ensures that whatever year group your child joins, they are prepared, confident, and most importantly, happy as part of the wider Morrisonian community.

It takes place on Saturday, September 24.
