At Richard Rose Morton Academy, we have undergone significant improvement since joining United Learning in 2014. We are a popular and oversubscribed 11-16 secondary, with a shared sixth form provision located at the site of our sister academy, Richard Rose Central Academy. We are proud of the strong outcomes of the strong outcomes our pupils achieve at GCSE and our reputation for high standards of behaviour, excellent pastoral care and a deep commitment to safeguarding and pupil wellbeing. 

Our mission is ensure our pupils are ‘Made in Morton’ and fully prepared to take their place in the world. We are a happy and inclusive school built on strong relationships and an open, supportive culture. All staff at the academy share this vision and believe that every child has the right to become the best version of themselves. We achieve this through high-quality teaching and learning, positive life experiences, a fair and consistent approach to behaviour, and a wide range of enrichment opportunities that enable all pupils to experience success. 

Our staff share a strong dedication to motivating and inspiring pupils to achieve beyond their expectations. We are equally committed to supporting colleagues through a varied and comprehensive professional development programme, enabling staff to share best practice, celebrate excellent teaching and continually enhance the quality of teaching and learning for the pupils.

Located on the western fringe of Carlisle, a short distance from the city centre and with excellent transport links to the Lake District, our academy sits at the heart of the community we serve. Our state-of-the-art facilities and strong local reputation make us a school of choice for families across the area.
