Welcome

Welcome to Ormiston Maritime Academy

Ormiston Maritime Academy is a vibrant, forward thinking academy providing a comprehensive and inclusive education to students from age 11–16. We moved into our new academy build in 2010, this has enabled us to provide students with state of the art facilities, enhancing learning further and highlighting the importance of technology within the society we live in. Exam results have improved steadily over the last few years and are predicted to rise further this year. We pride ourselves on being a values driven school and our ASPIRE (Achievement, Support, Perseverance, Independence, Respect and Enthusiasm) values are at the heart of academy life.
