The Morley Academy is a co-educational secondary school with Academy status for pupils ages 11–16 (ever sinice the introduction of the Elliot Hudson college, removing post-16 activity in the school) in West Yorkshire, England. Morley is situated south-west of Leeds city centre with a population of about 50,000. The school has approximately 1,589 pupils enrolled. The school no longer contains a Sixth Form. ==History== The school was established as Morley Secondary School on 4 July 1907, becoming Morley Grammar School in 1930. The first head teacher was John Robinson Airey (1868–1937) who was a nationally renowned mathematician.〔(''Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society'' 98 (1938), 243-244 ) Obituary: John Robinson Airey〕 It became a mixed comprehensive in 1975 under headmaster J R (Ralph) Carr. The school has had six different headteachers. During the First World War pupils at Morley Grammar school raised £5,000 to pay for school uniforms for struggling families within the school. On 1 January 2011, Morley High School became The Morley Academy under the government's new academy programme. Sir John Townsley was appointed head teacher after the retirement of Roland Walker. Towards the end of 2012 Sir John Townsley ceased his leadership of the academy and Anne-Marie Garnett was appointed principal. In November 2014, Leanne Griffiths was appointed as Principal. After Sir John Townsley's appointment to Morley High School, an Ofsted inspection in 2006 found the school Grade 3 (Satisfactory) for overall effectiveness, and in 2009, Grade 1 (Outstanding).〔("Morley High School" ), Ofsted reports 1999-2009.

At the start of the 2015 year, head teacher Leanne Griffiths announced by letter that the school would now withdraw all privileges, such as trips, from pupils where "personal or insulting comments" had been made by their parents on social media, or where there had been any "breakdown in rapport" with the school and that the school was working with police to stop this. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Morley Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
