We are a highly committed team who have very high expectations and a strong appreciation of the needs and priorities of each and every child.

Our overriding aim is to ensure that all the children leave Morley Newlands with the key knowledge and skills that will enable them to become confident and highly capable life-long learners. We are relentless in ensuring the children receive a broad and balanced curriculum that allows them to express their creativity as well as their individual academic flair in a full range of subjects. In addition to the highly effective teaching in the classroom on a daily basis, we make sure that each year group of pupils experiences a rich range of visits and visitors throughout the academic year.

We recognise that together with our parents we have a shared responsibility and a common goal centred on the wellbeing and development of the children. We, therefore, ensure that our staff are approachable so that families feel welcomed and that they are a central part of school life."

Mr Matthew Fitzpatrick | Principal 

Sir John Townsley | Chief Executive Officer

By offering a curriculum filled with variety of rich experiences, we aim to inspire young minds and improve children’s understanding of the world they live in. Celebrating and embracing our differences is fundamental to our work as we strive to ensure all of our children live as one community.

Strong relationships, rooted in mutual respect and trust, are developed with children and their families to ensure needs are fully met. Parents and carers are invited to be positively involved in their children’s learning through regular communication and opportunities to visit.

All of this runs alongside the high-quality teaching to unlock the potential of all of our children and allow access to a whole new world, giving them new insights and perspectives. With all of these skills and experiences, future ambitions are achievable.

To ensure that our school community operates in a successful, safe and healthy environment, we ask everyone to adhere to our seven Golden Rules:

We always do our best

We follow instructions straight away

We are kind

We are truthful

We keep hands, feet and objects to ourselves

We look after our school and environment

We move sensibly around our school

GORSE has a well-known reputation for changing the deal for children and young adults who come from some of the most impoverished parts of the country. Our central mission is to ensure that we play a significant role in removing the stubborn link between poverty and academic underperformance. Consequently, our students and our professionals are in the vanguard of the national drive which seeks to prove that where teaching is excellent, leadership inspiring and behaviour standards exemplary all children excel regardless of background.

Because of the trust’s reputation, we are also seeing the development of a new approach to academisation which is bringing already strong and successful schools forward to convert as new partners within GORSE. Those schools recognise the enormous advantage that comes from belonging to a network of excellence in both leadership and teaching, and we as a trust recognise that there is much to be gained when great organisations are brought together.
