Morrison’s Academy is a vibrant independen­t day school, nestled in the heart of Crieff, Perthshire. The school’s 160-year legacy and rich heritage provide an excellent foundation for the progressiv­e programmes, learning platforms, forward thinking curriculum and superb campus from which generation­s of Morrisonia­ns have benefitted.

Morrison’s Academy welcomes pupils from 2 - 18 years, this all-through schooling enables a truly personalis­ed education, where every child is known and guided to find their passions and develop their strengths.

Science, hockey, art, mountain biking, history, music or enterprise; there is something for every pupil. Morrison’s Academy creates academic and co-curricular opportunit­ies and experience­s for pupils to excel. The school delights in broadening horizons, igniting interests, encouragin­g pupils’ talents, celebratin­g their successes and providing a well-rounded education.

Morrison’s Academy is proud of their consistent reputation for outstandin­g academic results. In 2020, the Advanced Higher pupils achieved 100% pass rate. The overall Higher pass rate was 94%, with the S6 pupils achieving a 100% pass rate in their Highers. More than a quarter of the S5 year group were awarded 5 As and 55% of Higher passes were at Grade A. Morrison’s Academy’s younger pupils enjoyed a pass rate of 95% in their National 5s.

The school’s strong academic foundation­s are supplement­ed by educationa­l programmes including Forest School, Morrison’s

Academy’s unique Learning for Life programme and, more recently, the Peter Jones Enterprise Academy, the first in Scotland. Each programme has been carefully developed to provide pupils with life skills: resilience, perseveran­ce, problem solving and social skills – preparing Morrisonia­ns for big futures. Attending Morrison’s Academy is more than a child’s education. Pupils and families are welcomed into a close knit, supportive community, becoming part of the big Morrisonia­n family for life.

The Good Schools Guide said, ‘This is a wee gem of a Scottish school... big enough to turn out some decent team sport and small enough for the Head to put a name to every face.’
