Morley’s History | Morley Memorial Primary School
“It is the birthright of every child to have the best possible education” Principal Horobin, Homerton College, Morley Opening Ceremony, 1900 Morley Memorial is a community primary school in the district of Cambridgeshire. The school is named after Samuel Morley who was a benefactor of the Homerton Teacher Training College and a member of the Congregational Board of Education. He was also MP for Nottingham and Bristol, and a well known abolitionist. The school was founded as a practice school for the College. It is one of the oldest non-denominational schools in Cambridge, having celebrated its centenary in 2000. There are currently over 400 children enrolled ranging from 4-11yrs. The school is situated near the centre of the city, on the south side. The population of the area is diverse: some families have lived for generations within the community, others are more recently settled and others are here only for a short time connected to periods of work or study. Many of this last group come from outside the UK and the school has a number of children for whom English is an additional language.

Starting School | Morley Memorial Primary School
Going to school for the first time is a big step in the life of a child, and for his or her family. We invite parents and children to visit Reception several times before they start to familiarise themselves with the school and the teachers. We also make home visits to establish a secure partnership between parents and the school. We try to ensure that the settling in period is as smooth as possible for all concerned. Children initially attend part time, making a gradual transition to full time attendance over the first few weeks, with the needs of the children as our priority. However, we realise that this can cause difficulties for some families and we try to meet individual needs whenever possible. Children starting school in classes other than Reception will be made very welcome. Parents are welcome to visit the school with their child prior to admission. When your child starts school other children will show them around the classroom and act as mentors while they are settling in. Children who move from a different school will no doubt find that systems are different, especially if they are moving from a different country. Please encourage your child to ask if there is anything they don’t understand. Teachers are happy to talk to parents, to answer questions and deal with any problems that may arise.
