The Forge family is everything we do. It is our philosophy, our success, our failure and a home. It is a welcoming, safe and passionate environment that allows us all to be the best we can be and it drives our values of resilience, aspiration and respect.
We pride ourselves on ensuring that all students are able to learn in an environment which is both safe and supportive, whilst recognising the individual needs of all our students.
We are proud of our Academy and expect all students to wear our simple uniform with pride.
Here at Ormiston Forge Academy we are relentless in our drive to offer a broad, balanced, knowledge-rich and age-related curriculum for students as they move through each year of education with us.

From Monday 29th June, we are going to be rolling out live lessons through Google Meet. Our students have been away from the classroom and trying to teach themselves with all our support for 13 weeks. We would like for them all to receive a live lesson before the end of the term to provide some face to face contact with their teachers and enable us to teach them something new before the summer.

At the end of the academic year, I will be leaving Forge to take up a position working for Ormiston across the West Midlands region. I will become the Regional Executive Principal, supporting principals and academies in the West Midlands.
