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.

🥐 HEADTEACHER’S BRUNCH - CELEBRATING CONSISTENT ACHIEVEMENT FROM SOME OUTSTANDING YOUNG PEOPLE

🍳 Every half term, we hold a Headteacher’s Brunch, which recognises the hard work of KS3 students across the curriculum. We bring students together and congratulate them for excellence and efforts in every subject, every day.

🥐 It is very difficult to narrow it down to just a small group at our great school as these are the traits of everyone at Team Brownhills, but on this occasion, these were the selected students - congratulations!

🍳 Mr Doodson had a lovely time with the students eating some delicious food prepared by the BOA Kitchen and talking to them about their progress and studies this half term. The perfect end to brilliant 8 weeks at Brownhills!

🎨 BROWNHILLS ART EXHIBITION - A FABULOUS SHOWCASE OF EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT WORK

🖌️ On Thursday last week, we were delighted to host an Art Exhibition in the Community Lounge, showcasing the work of artists from the Brownhills Alumni of last academic year.

🎨 Alumni and their families from the Class of 2026 returned to look at their phenomenal work. Mrs Drake and Mrs Mander who make up ‘Team Art’ at Brownhills are a wonderful duo and they were talking to students so passionately about their work.

🖌️ We were also delighted to be joined by Year 3s and 4s from St. James Academy who joined us for an art project a couple of weeks ago. Their work was also displayed and it was a joy to welcome their families to the school as well.

🎨 A huge thank you also goes to the group of musicians who entertained us for the evening and the student helpers who supported.
