ormiston academies trust
We are a national education charity, underpinned by our founder, Peter Murray’s
(Ormiston Trust) belief that every child should be given a chance to thrive. We
serve pupils from many communities, all with their unique character, strengths,
and challenges. Our sole purpose is: “to provide OAT pupils with excellent
learning opportunities, inside and outside the classroom.” We are ambitious for
the over 30,000 children and young people we are responsible for as they all
deserve to be given every chance to succeed. Whether the pupils attend our
primary, secondary, special or alternative provision academies we are determined
that every pupil we serve will be given the opportunity to realise their dreams
and aspirations. For us to achieve this we know we must work in partnership with
others. Children and young people live in families of different types, located
in diverse communities. Our role is to provide a haven in which our pupils can
thrive regardless of the context in which they are growing up. We are proud to
be an outward-facing organisation committed to deepening and extending our work
with others locally, regionally and nationally.
