Brownhills Ormiston Academy

Brownhills Ormiston Academy Brownhills Ormiston Academy sits on the Staffordshire-Walsall border. Our values of ready, respect and safe underpin everything we do.

Our students leave us with the skills, attributes and academic qualifications to enjoy a life of choice and opportunity. We are exceptionally proud of our school and our community. At Brownhills, we have a clear and unwavering mission: we know that every student who walks through our doors has only one chance at their education. One single, precious opportunity to build the foundations to enjoy a

life filled with choice and opportunity. We understand that the five years at secondary school are not just a phase, but a defining chapter in a child’s story, one that will shape their futures in ways that you cannot imagine yet. Our commitment is simple but powerful. We will work tirelessly to create an environment where every student feels safe, valued, and inspired to push beyond their limits. There are no limits for a Brownhills student who chooses to work hard. Our three values are the drivers for the work of our school: ready, respect and safe. They are embedded in our culture of learning and the behaviours of our academy community. Our broad and ambitious curriculum enables students to acquire and retain the knowledge and skills required to meet their full academic potential and to be prepared for post-16 pathways. We offer a wide range of subjects that will give our students rich experiences at school. We are a school that is very well known for our sports, music and drama. Beyond our ambitious curriculum, our students have access to a range of wider opportunities, competitions, events, trips, and clubs. Our students must and will leave us with skills, attributes and academic qualifications to enable them to enjoy a life of choice and opportunity. Visitors often comment on the warm and friendly atmosphere in the school and the buzz of activity that greets them. Prospective students and their families are welcome to contact the academy to arrange a visit during or after the school day. Our Headteacher, Mr Doodson, is very clear with his message to our community: you have one chance at your education, and we all have to work together to make it count.

✏️ STUDENTS WORKING HARD IN MATHS - YEAR 7 ARE MAKING IT COUNT THIS HALF TERM

✏️ We dropped in on Year 7 completing some challenging Maths questions today. They were converting fractions into decimals, working with some fractions that required a lot of thought to convert them accurately.

✏️ Maths skills are so important and a brilliant grade in GCSE Maths will go a long way to helping you towards that life of choice and opportunity. Well done, Year 7 and keep up the good work!

🎭 FRANCIS HODGKINSON THEATRE REFURBISHMENT - A FRESH NEW LOOK FOR THE NEW HALF TERM!

🎭 We were delighted this morning to welcome the students back to Brownhills and into assemblies in our theatre which has had a fabulous refurbishment over the half term!

🎭 I am sure you all agree that it looks incredible. We cannot wait to bring our school show to life on the stage in a few weeks' time!

🎭 Thank you to the team involved in the project this half term and especially to Miss Knowles and Mr Murcott for their work preparing the stage for its big refurbishment.

🎭 Our theatre is named after Fran Hodgkinson, a governor of over 40 years at Brownhills and still a very close friend of the school. Fran, we hope you like the new theatre as much as we do!

❤️ END OF HALF TERM CELEBRATIONS AT BROWNHILLS - REWARDS, COMPETITION & FRIENDSHIP - OUR GREAT SCHOOL AT ITS VERY BEST!

💙 Yesterday lunchtime, our students gathered in the glorious sunshine on the field for Year 10 vs. Year 11 football and rounders matches with music and lots of laughter. This was followed by 'Golden Time' rewards on the fields for the final hour of the day. It was delightful and fantastic way to end another amazing half term at our school.

❤️ This is a great school. The staff work tirelessly because they care so much about the community they serve - we have a brilliant team teachers and support staff. The families and friends of the school support us endlessly and that support is vital in allowing us to do what we need to do to make this one chance at young people's education count. The students are the best of the best; they make every day joyous by committing 100% to everything they do, working hard to gain skills, attributes and qualifications at every opportunity inside and outside the classroom and by doing it all with energy, a huge smile and beautiful manners.

💙 Thank you for a delightful 6 weeks at Brownhills. Summer 1...you've been great! See you all in Summer 2, where there is even more in store for you all! You are welcome here. You belong here. We are so proud of this community.

❤️ Well done to our attendance prize winners and thank you to everyone who joined in our celebrations.
