Dear students, parents, families and our community,

I am incredibly proud and privileged to be the Principal of a thriving academy serving the young people and families of our community.

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make on their behalf. Therefore, at Ormiston Meridian Academy, we aim not only to match students’ and parents’ high standards and expectations, but to exceed them. Within a welcoming, supportive and nurturing environment, we provide a stimulating, engaging and well- rounded education designed to give our students the best possible life chances as young adults.

We believe in:

Shaping Lives: – We strive to ensure that our students live happy, successful and exciting lives that are underpinned by an excellent education. Our curriculum is designed to shape the ‘whole’ child by developing; Strong characters, leadership traits, independent learners, interests and passions and successful citizens alongside the development of academic and practical knowledge and skills.

Building Ambition: – We are passionate about instilling a strong sense of self-belief, determination and aspiration in every student. Every child should have incredibly high expectations of themselves and believe that they can achieve anything they put their mind to, no matter how difficult.

Igniting Futures: – We aim to connect learning to real-life contexts to ensure all our students are well-prepared for an ever-changing, demanding and modern world. We provide in-depth knowledge regarding the vast range of opportunities and experiences that are available to them as young adults; Further Education, University, Apprenticeships, and ultimately employment.

Your child is at the heart of every decision we make and action we take and you have my guarantee that we will go above and beyond to provide your child with the best possible education. We want to work with you in close partnership and deeply value your input and constructive feedback. We are passionate about working with you to support your child on this incredible journey as they grow into a flourishing young adult.

I hope to see you very soon.
