Ormiston Horizon Academy is a special place. We are in the privileged position of being able to raise aspirations and change the lives of the young people we work with on a daily basis.

Our students are an exceptional group of young people who thrive on the range of experiences that they are offered at OHA. We firmly believe the relationships between teachers, students and parents/carers are the key to the success of the academy.

We have a wonderful team of staff at OHA who work relentlessly to ensure our students are provided with the best education possible. We aim to create a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for achieving excellence. We encourage positive attitudes and aim to provide an environment in which all students feel valued, challenged and secure.

Our outstanding £22m site allows us to offer an education with a difference for our students. We are fully committed to ensuring that our academy continues to be a centre of excellence and innovation for our students, staff and the local community.

We are always open to visitors and would be happy to welcome you into OHA so you can appreciate the special learning atmosphere that exists here. I look forward to working closely with you on our journey to ‘outstanding’.
