About Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy
At Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy we go the extra mile for our young people. The academy is committed to providing outstanding teaching and learning to enable every child to be the best that they can be.
Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy Description
Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy (OSSMA) opened in September 2010. We were one of the first Academies in Stoke-on-Trent to have a new building which opened in January 2013. Our Principal is Mark Stanyer.
The Academy was constructed on the site of the existing Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy. The site includes the co-location of a new special school - Kemball.
Maximum pupil numbers are 1050, 11 to 16 and from September 2014, 150 post 16 giving a total occupancy of 1200.
Our new state of the art building's key features include:
Faculty clusters based around social learning zones or "hubs"
Central "street space"
400 Seat Arts Theatre
Drama Studio /Conference Room
Flexible, agile and adaptable environments
Access to over 300 computers
4 badminton court sized sports hall with facilities for indoor cricket, netball, volleyball and basketball
Fully equipped dance studio
Fitness Suite
4 Outdoor Tennis Courts
Upgraded grass pitches and Synthetic Turf Pitch to Football Association standard to promote links with Stoke City Football Academy.
We have ambitious plans to share our facilities with our community. Any community group wishing to make use of our facilities, please contact our Extended Services Director or Centre Manager.
Our students, teachers, support staff, parents and governors, form one big OSSMA family who work together to ensure that achievement and enrichment are the central aspects of our daily life together. We are committed to going the extra mile to ensure the best for our young people and achieving our vision that:
“All OSSMA students will be exceptional learners, experiencing a world-class education”.
We aim to provide the best experiences to our students, whether through academic work, competing in sport, participating in drama or by seeing the world. This helps them to shape their course as they move from school through to university and then on into their adult lives.
Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy is a good school with outstanding Leadership & Management, as judged by Ofsted and we have been designated as a National Support School and our Principal, Mark Stanyer, as a National Leader of Education.
As a National Leader of Education, the Principal is able to conduct Pupil Premium reviews and as a National Support School, we are able to offer support for the development of senior and middle leadership and also teaching and learning.
Should any school or academy wish to utilise these offers, please contact Mrs Emma Smith, PA to the Principal.
We are proud of how far OSSMA has advanced since becoming an Ormiston academy in 2010 and we will continue to improve the opportunities for our young people that will equip them for modern life, and to have no ceiling on their aspirations.
Reviews
Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy will be hosting our annual “World’s Biggest Coffee Morning”, to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, on Friday September 28th 2018 from 9.15 – 10.45am.
We would love to make this our biggest one yet, so whether you are a parent, a grandparent, a carer or a friend of the academy, please come along and join us for coffee and cake.
Our students and staff will be on a “roll”, baking like mad over the coming week in preparation for Friday... and any help from the community would be greatly appreciated. So if you want a “slice” of the action and you have any cakes to donate, or would like to “rise” to the occasion and show off your own baking skills, then please call into reception with your wonderful goodies, it’s the “yeast” you can do!
If you are a parent of a Year 6 student joining us for a tour of the academy as part of our Open Week, please stop by at the end of your tour. You will probably need a cup of tea from all the walking!
