The Morley Academy and The King's School in Pontefract have a special place in history, as they are both named in honor of the brilliant Ruth Gorse. The Ruth Gorse Academy is a large high school that serves a disadvantaged area, and its central mission is to provide an inspirational education to all students, regardless of background or experience. The Ruth Gorse Academy has been greatly impacted by the SCITT program, and many SCITT alumni and their School Direct legacy are now part of its staff team. In addition, runners from other academies within The GORSE Academies Trust, as well as from The Ruth Gorse Academy, participated in a race to commemorate the legacy of Ruth Gorse.

The Ruth Gorse Academy is a shining example of how education can be used to empower young people and create a brighter future for everyone. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of Ruth Gorse that her legacy continues to inspire students and educators alike.
