Values and Vision
The school values are "learn", "believe", "achieve" and "thrive", and staff encourage the students to “Be the best that you can be”. Extracurricular activities are important, with drama, Minecraft, art, music and chess clubs on offer. Morecambe Community is also one of only a few schools in the north-west of England offering outdoor education as part of its curriculum.
Over the years, there have been a number of significant expansions to the school. Its Lawther Library was opened in 2002 and a floodlit pitch that opened in 2009 is used for netball and tennis; the school also has a pitch set up for football and hockey.
Making Morecambe great again
The school benefits from strong local partner schools, supporting it on its improvement journey. We are looking for courageous, talented staff to work with us to rapidly develop a school with great potential!
