Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews
Academy (OSSMA) is a non-denominational, non-selective school, welcoming
students of all backgrounds from the local community. Our mission is to equip
every student with the knowledge, learning power and character necessary for
success both at the next stage of their education and beyond. We believe in
‘aspiration beyond limits,’ that there is nothing our students are not capable
of attaining, and ‘success beyond measure,’ where our students’ achievements
are judged on more than just exam grades. Students, teachers, staff and parents
are committed to making this vision a reality in a vibrant and inclusive learning
community in which everyone can succeed.
We offer a rich interconnected
curriculum based on our academy values that reaches beyond the classroom. Every
moment in the day is a learning opportunity for every member of our community.
Literacy and oracy are at the heart of our academy. Students read challenging
texts that supplement the curriculum and offer greater cultural capital for
all. All students develop their oracy skills from the moment they join the
academy, developing their confidence to speak articulately and confidently in
public and to be able to structure conversation and debate. We offer an
incredibly wide range of personal development opportunities to ensure that our
students can engage in the same opportunities as any child in this country.
Staff development is central to ensuring that we are able to deliver to our
students such a rich and varied educational offer.
