At Ormiston Bridge Academy, we are passionate about transforming the lives of young people who face barriers to mainstream education. Based in the heart of Hammersmith and Fulham, we provide a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment for Key Stage 3 and 4 pupils, as well as primary-aged children, offering tailored support to help them succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our academy specializes in alternative provision for students at risk of or excluded from mainstream schools, including those with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. We pride ourselves on taking a holistic approach, working closely with families, professionals, and local partners to create meaningful opportunities and inspire young people to achieve their aspirations.

Through our strong partnerships with community organizations such as the Lyric Theatre, Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre, and Fulham FC’s Kick-Start Programme, we offer enrichment activities that broaden horizons and build essential life skills. From vocational courses to therapeutic interventions, we empower our learners to rediscover a love of learning and build confidence for future success.

Our staff are at the heart of what we do. Joining Ormiston Bridge Academy means becoming part of a team of dedicated SEMH professionals committed to making a difference. We prioritize staff well-being and provide ongoing support to ensure our community thrives together.

We encourage all prospective candidates to visit us and see our transformative work in action.

Be part of a team that changes lives—one student at a time.
