Life learning at Morrison’s Academy

-

Nestled in the heart of the bustling country town of Crieff, Morrison’s Academy has long been making the most of its enviable location to enhance the education of every one of its pupils.

The school’s long tradition of academic success continues today with a contempora­ry Scottish curriculum and a programme of child-centred learning that builds emotional intelligen­ce, creativity and life skills.

From nursery through to Advanced Higher, specialist teachers in sports, languages, and creative and performing arts deliver a high standard of teaching in a growing range of subject choices.

Generation­s of Morrisonia­ns have benefited from this rich blend of academic, artistic and sporting experience­s, going on to make their mark on the world as Olympians, scientists, award-winning actors, adventurer­s, politician­s and profession­als.

In 2018, pupils maintained a 93% SQA pass rate at Higher level, a 94% pass rate at Advanced Higher level and a 94% pass rate at National 5 (S4).

This commitment to excellence underpins all the school’s activities, in the classroom and beyond.

Several innovative programmes unique to Morrison’s Academy provide core experienti­al learning in relationsh­ips, health, careers and enterprise, drawing out independen­ce and self-knowledge, and building confidence, emotional intelligen­ce and empathy.

The Morrison’s family extends beyond the current roll: former pupils and staff around the world are regularly involved in events, careers networking, and overseas trips, and are always delighted to return to visit their alma mater’s beautiful campus.

The school is very easy to get to, with excellent bus services from the Stirling, Dunblane, Auchterard­er, Falkirk, Dunning, Bridge of Allan, Perth, Pitlochry and Aberfeldy areas.

The school’s next Open Morning is on Tuesday February 12 9.30am – registrati­on is available on the day, or alternativ­ely, pre-register online (morrisonsa­cademy.org) or by telephone 01764 653885.

There will also be an Open Morning, for Primary and Nursery, on Friday May 3.
