Welcome to Ormiston Forge Academy

Resilience. Aspiration. Respect. These are the values we instil in our students from the moment they join the Forge family. These values form the cornerstone of academic achievement and personal happiness. From this point, we believe our young people can do anything. We encourage them to believe in themselves and to take advantage of the boundless opportunities that await them. Together we are Forge and we are Good.

Excellent school, great staff and my daughter is doing well there.

Great evening at Netherton Arts Centre on Wednesday 14 December 2016 watching the pantomime, Cinderella. Absolutely superb, well done to all students and staff involved - you must be on a high right now, I'm so proud to be even slightly linked to you.

My daughter has grown so much being here, she can be herself and express herself whilst learning. The teachers are fantastic and are fully supportive. I couldn’t have sent her to a better place.

I attended Orminston Forge when it was Heathfield and loved my experience there so I wanted my children to go there too. My son started September and has come on so much. Love this school.

I feel my daughter is in competent hands, and I appreciate all the opportunities the school offers for the students to develop social, educational and human skills. Thumbs up all around!

Went to the open day today and must say the ethos in this school is amazing. My niece really enjoyed looking around and I enjoyed seeing how much the school has developed! Was good to know the house system was still in place as it really had a brilliant impact on my school years! Competition and activities really allow children to come out of their shell! Hope it stays for many more years!

My daughter moved from another school to Ormiston due to bullying. Since she started in April it's like she's a completely different child. She gets up for school no problems, hasn't once moaned about anything. She's looking forward to starting year 8 which is something I never thought I would say. Thank you to everyone at Ormiston for making her feel like she belongs somewhere.

Ormiston Forge Academy is not only a great school but they provide help to everyone, they treat all the students equally. Not only that, the school provide educational trips in order to have fun but learn responsibility. I'm year 11 now and I have had the best experience. I highly recommend it.

A good place to learn and the opportunity to maximise your potential. Two children at school both achieving good results.

5 stars As a difficult parent with a ‘spirited’ young lad, I think the school have worked hard to accommodate us both. Having a good idea of high schools I have to say Ormiston get it right! Every school can improve but I think they welcome feedback and strive to be the best - education is a tough game with lots of people to please. Educating teenagers in the current climate is a difficult job - I couldn’t do it so credit where it is due. It’s clear if they have the right attitude they’ll succeed at Ormiston they’re given lots of opportunities it’s up the individual child to take them.
