    Welcome to Ormiston Venture Academy and our amazing community!


    In the words of our students, Venture means ‘to seek out new horizons, to face new challenges and to break new ground’.


    We believe that every child deserves a world class education. As an Ofsted Outstanding academy, National Teaching School and high performing secondary we are committed to ensuring our students achieve the very best both in their academic pursuits and in the wider opportunities to develop an appreciation of culture, grow as a person, develop socially and prepare for their own exciting futures.


    In an ever-changing world, preparing students to become 21st century global citizens along with the character to lead happy, healthy and successful futures is a key part of our ethos. We provide a student-centred, personalised and innovative learning environment with a creative curriculum that embraces critical thinking, new technologies and the use of best and innovative practice to transform learning and foster outstanding achievement in all areas. Discovering and unlocking students’ potential is our core purpose.


    As part of the Ormiston Academies Trust family, we are totally committed to raising aspirations and shaping the future of learning for our young people, ensuring they become valuable and active members of the communities in which they live.

    Our four watch words are Aspire, Achieve, Create and Innovate, and we are firmly dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where every child can feel safe, enjoy and achieve.


    We are proud of our students both past and present and look forward to working together to ensure every child can realise their dreams.
