Like all high performing organisations, GORSE will never stand still and become complacent. At the same time, however, the board of GORSE places great emphasis on the need for careful risk assessment and detailed analysis in our considerations of new initiatives.
The Terry Elliott Academy
The Terry Elliott Academy will open in September 2027 on a site immediately adjacent to John Smeaton Academy. The academy benefits from state of the art facilities made possible through its carbon neutral new premises. The Terry Elliott Academy will be a key partner school to John Smeaton Academy, a school which is currently in the process of a rapid, ground-breaking transformation.
The school is named in honour of Terry Elliott, a long standing former chair and trustee of the board of our trust. Terry Elliott has been instrumental for well over a decade in shaping the values and strategic direction of all that we do.
