Colours
Mearns Academy School Colours
Across our school community here at Mearns Academy we share the core values of Respect, Wellbeing and Ambition. Through our colours system we want to recognise the vast array of skills, qualities, talent, ability and commitment that our extraordinary young people display both within school and across our wider community.
The purpose of colours is to allow pupils the opportunity to take initiative, responsibility and to actively engage to influence positive change and improvement both for themselves and others.
For information on applying for a colours award, please see Mr Middleton.
