Morley has a new mission statement. It is the result of extensive consultation with students, staff, and governors over the last year, and we hope that it represents a true distillation of the College's special purpose and values.
The statement should be of use both to those outside the institution who wish to know more about it, and to members of the immediate Morley family. It is vital that it is rooted in reality, and that its vision is shared. It is also important to review the statement regularly to ensure continued relevance.
Please take time to read the statement and to consider how you can contribute further to the development of Morley's mission.
