Welcome

Welcome to Ormiston Rivers Academy

I am delighted to welcome you to Ormiston Rivers Academy.

At the heart of all we do sit our 3 core values:

Ambition

Challenging ourselves to be the best we can be.

Community

Developing, through mutual respect, a culture of belonging.

Excellence

Through resilience, hard work and support, excelling in all we do.

These values underpin all we do, and all we expect of our young people in our academy.  And through these we strive to educate and enrich the lives of every student.

We are passionate that education has the power to transform lives, and we are committed to unlocking the potential in every child.

Our curriculum is broad, balanced, and ambitious. From the arts and humanities to languages, sport, and STEM, students experience a rich tapestry of subjects, underpinned by strong provision in English, Maths, Science, and more.

Our teaching is characterised by clarity, challenge, and high expectations, designed not just to cover content, but to build knowledge, develop skills, and prepare young people for their next steps, either through our excellent Sixth Form provision or with other local providers.

But education at Ormiston Rivers is about more than just academic achievement. Wenurture character, confidence, curiosity, and well-being through a wealth of extra-curricular clubs, activities, trips, and performances. From sports and performing arts to STEM, debate, and Duke of Edinburgh, our students have countless opportunities to discover new interests, develop leadership, and contribute to our wider community.

We are committed to knowing every child as an individual, holding high expectations, and providing a warm, supportive environment in which our students can flourish and thrive.

I am proud to be Principal here at Ormiston Rivers Academy and welcome your interest.
