All students at Ormiston Park Academy are encouraged to make informed, individual progression decisions. At the Academy, we support our students in whatever pathway they choose and this has led to successful destinations to further education, employment and apprenticeships. Our destination information is updated on an annual basis.
Despite COVID-19 and its impact upon education, there has been a continued downward trend of NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) students, further enhanced by an upward trend of students remaining in full time education.
In 2018–19 there was a downward trend of NEET students, further enhanced by an upward trend of students remaining in full time education.
