About Ormiston Trust

Ormiston Trust, based in London, is an organisation which was founded in 1969 in memory of Fiona Ormiston Murray. The Trust's fundamental objective is to fund and provide grants for children, educational organisations and schools.

Ormiston Trust understands the importance of quality education provision for all children and is involved in sponsoring Academies across the UK.

The aim of the Academies programme is to raise educational standards by building a world-class network of innovative, high performing secondary schools in partnership with parents, teachers, business and the wider community.

We believe this to be an excellent opportunity to invest in education - one of the most important investments that we can make in the lives of young people and the future of this country.

Ormiston Trust strongly believes that children should be empowered to maximise their potential through the removal of barriers to learning. They should be given the opportunity to develop a sense of self worth so that they will have the confidence to learn and achieve.

All Ormiston Academies are committed to:

• Centring all of our work in Every Child Matters
• The removal of barriers to learning
• Engaging the whole community
• Being fully inclusive
• Using student centred and personalised approaches to learning
• Using an imaginative curriculum
• Creating a vibrant school environment
