Why choose OPA?

At Ormiston Park Academy, our mission drives everything we do: to enable all students to “Believe and Achieve” through excellent teaching, personalised support and meaningful encouragement. We strive to ensure every student believes in themselves, develops confidence in their abilities and fulfils their potential. At OPA, we recognise that there is always room for growth, and we are committed to playing a transformative role in education and in the community we proudly serve

We build and sustain excellent relationships with students, parents, carers and the wider community. Central to this is our commitment to creating a strong sense of belonging, where every student feels welcomed, valued and supported as part of the Ormiston Park Academy’s family. Our PARK values, Perseverance, Aspiration,Responsibility and Knowledge, foster this shared sense of belonging and guide every aspect of academy life, helping our students develop into well‑rounded, confident and successful young adults.

At Ormiston Park Academy, we are also proud to be trailblazers in wellbeing, placing the mental health and emotional development of our students at the heart of our work. Wellbeing is not an add‑on; it is a priority woven throughout our culture, curriculum and daily practice, ensuring every student has the care, guidance and support they need to thrive. As part of this commitment, we are actively working towards achieving the nationally‑recognisedWellbeing Award for Schools, further strengthening our dedication to whole‑school mental health and wellbeing.
