Values and vision

Do you want to work in a thriving, student centred academy that is on a rapid journey of improvement? Are you looking for a new exciting challenge in a supportive, innovative, working environment? At Cliff Park Ormiston Academy we know that we make a difference to our students lives 'everyday'. We are RESTLESS, and RELENTLESS in the pursuit of EXCELLENCE for every single Cliff Park Ormiston Academy student.

Our curriculum has been developed around four core pillars: Discover, Create, Thrive and Achieve. 

Discover is to learn or find out; gain sight or knowledge of something previously unknown.

Create is to have the confidence and self-motivation to bring something unique into being, from one’s own thought or imagination.

Thrive is to grow, develop and be successful; to flourish. 

Achieve is to fulfil your true potential, through the mastery of core knowledge and skills, and an ambition to be the best you can be.

We create the best possible environment for our students and staff to thrive and achieve.

Our 'everyday expectations' and rehearsed routines create calm, supportive environments where our students can work to the best of their ability and strive for success. Our classrooms are productive and calm. As a staff we create a happy, supportive school where every student can discover, create and thrive! We strive for our young people to leave to the next stage of their education as happy and confident citizens, ready to positively contribute to society and in all that they go on to do.  

Cliff Park Ormiston Academy has been recognised for its creativity and has been awarded an Artsmark Award by Arts Council England. Our school offers a huge range of extra - curricular activities and events providing our students' opportunities to discover new interests, hobbies and talents.
