Welcome to Ormiston Six Villages Academy: Join Our Supportive Educational Community

At Ormiston Six Villages Academy, located in Chichester, West Sussex, we are proud to offer an exciting and supportive work environment. Our academy, serving students aged 11-16, is dedicated to providing a safe, positive space for students to explore, learn, and develop into confident young adults ready to thrive in a competitive world.

We believe that education should be enjoyable, interesting, and relevant to our modern technological age. Our goal is to ensure that every student receives the best educational experience, both academically and personally. Inspired by the idea that there is excellence in all, we aim to stretch, stimulate, and foster a love of lifelong learning in each student. Our teaching extends beyond the classroom, focusing on developing responsible and valuable adults.

The size of our academy allows us to know each student and their family, fostering close working relationships. We encourage parents and carers to actively participate in academy life through the Parents’ Forum and Friends of Six Villages parent group, which positively impacts opportunities for students both inside and outside the classroom. We expect our students to take pride in our academy, sharing our high expectations for uniform, conduct, and engagement.
