Welcome to the Richard Rose Morton Academy and thank you for taking the time to visit our website. I hope it offers you an insight into our enthusiasm and passion for truly making a difference to our young people.

We are very proud of our Academy and all those important people who make it a fantastic place to learn and work. We want the best for our young people, and with our sponsors, are working very hard to make this one of the best Academies or schools in the country.

The way we deliver our curriculum is different but the subjects are the same. We believe that making learning real and exciting will support our students to achieve higher standards. We believe that teaching students how to learn is important for now and their future. Equally how we link education to the rest of their lives is important, after all that is why we are here! We use learning about work, local businesses and business people to show our students what will happen in their next steps. We hope this will build up their aspirations and help them to choose a career which they will love.

In 2011 we will have a brand new building, but even now we are using the latest technologies to make learning more effective. We combine this with our specialisms of Maths and Performing Arts to offer all our students opportunities to show how great they are, build their confidence and ability to communicate, ready for the 21st century.

We know success comes from partnerships and we believe your involvement in the learning process will ensure fantastic results. It is your dedication that drives the future and this is why we involve you at every opportunity.

Our Academy is committed to offering your child a happy, secure and supportive education where they will develop, learn and achieve with confidence and enthusiasm.

I look forward to meeting with you.

Mrs K Robinson
