ormiston rivers academy
I am delighted to welcome you to Ormiston Rivers Academy. Our mission is to
deepen learning and raise aspiration. Our values are aspiration, independence,
respect, and resilience and are embedded in our day-to-day work. I am proud to
represent the staff and students of Ormiston Rivers, a school that really
embodies the ambitions we have for the children of our community. Our students
are resilient and respectful young people, independently working to seize and
create opportunities for themselves and others. They are ambitious and
aspirational; set to change the world for the better. We promote a creative
approach, and we have excellent facilities for dance, drama, and music,
embracing the discipline these subjects bring to your child. Our values are
rooted firmly in the community, and we encourage links with local groups,
businesses, and events. If you have seen our students perform or participate
across the county, you will know that excellence is an expectation and this is
clear in everything we do – be it through: academic or charitable endeavours,
performance, or motor vehicle maintenance. Our staff know our students really
well and strive at all times to meet their needs by keeping up to date with the
latest educational research and continuing professional development. Ormiston
Rivers is a dynamic and exciting learning environment with creative teaching and
learning as the norm. We are the sole secondary school in Burnham on Crouch and
the Dengie, and therefore uniquely placed to ensure that children achieve their
potential. Our student exam results remain consistently above national averages
and we continue to develop confident students who go out in the world with the
security that only a strong education can provide. Our last Ofsted was in
October 2016, with the school rated as Good in all aspects, the report can be
found on the Ofsted section of our website. You will find a wealth of
information about the school on the website, but do not hesitate to contact us
if you would like any further information. I look forward to meeting you in the
near future and hope to be welcoming your child next year.
