At Ormiston South Parade Academy, we believe that every child has the potential to succeed, and we are committed to helping them believe in themselves. As a proud member of the Ormiston Academies Trust (OAT), we provide a vibrant and modern learning environment where children aged 2 to 11 can thrive. Our dedicated team of exceptional teachers ensures that every child receives high-quality learning experiences every single day.

We take pride in offering a broad and engaging curriculum that not only focuses on academic excellence but also supports the personal growth and well-being of our pupils. We foster qualities such as resilience, aspiration, confidence, and the ability to take risks—helping children become the best versions of themselves. Our inclusion team works tirelessly to provide pastoral support for both children and families, ensuring that every child feels safe, valued, and supported.

At OSPA, education extends beyond the classroom. We offer an exciting enrichment programme filled with extra-curricular activities, trips, and residential visits that inspire a love of learning and help build happy, confident, and well-rounded individuals. We also place great emphasis on celebrating success in all areas of school life, recognizing achievements through assemblies, rewards, and personal encouragement.

Our school values—Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Reflection, and Resourcefulness—are embedded in everything we do, guiding our pupils to become independent learners and responsible citizens. We believe that strong partnerships between home and school are key to a child’s success, and we work closely with families to ensure the best outcomes for our pupils.

If you are passionate about making a difference in children's lives, we would love to hear from you. Join our team and help us inspire the next generation.
