Flegg Ormiston Academy

What Flegg Ormiston Academy does

Flegg High Ormiston Academy is a state-funded UK secondary academy serving students aged 11–16 (Years 7–11) from the Martham and Great Yarmouth area in Norfolk, England. It operates as part of the Ormiston Academies Trust (OAT) under Senior Principal Simon Gilbert-Barnham, who simultaneously leads Ormiston Venture Academy in a united-leadership partnership. The academy delivers a five-year curriculum spanning Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 with GCSE preparation, supported by proprietary content assets including Flegg Fundamentals (half-termly knowledge organisers), the CASH curriculum (Community, Ambition, Spirituality, Health), and a Personalised Learning framework combining Read Aloud, Flegg Virtues, Global Citizen, Literacy for Life, and Votes for School sessions.

The academy's technology stack comprises third-party educational platforms rather than proprietary systems: GO4Schools for online reporting, Arbor for management information, Lexia Power Up and Lexonik for literacy intervention, plus standard virtual learning environments for remote education. Teaching and learning are supported by the Learning Resource Centre and "The Hub" (combined SEND and wellbeing facility). Enrichment is delivered via Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award, the student-led Event Team, and the Union of Flegg Students leadership structure (six cooperatives plus executive board). Career guidance is aligned to all 8 Gatsby Benchmarks, with on-site Beacon East independent careers advice and a documented 97.6% positive progression rate for Year 11 destinations.

The business model is non-commercial: the academy receives UK ESFA per-pupil funding via OAT, charges no tuition fees, and admits students through the standard UK school admissions process. Go-to-market is effectively direct-to-consumer within its catchment area, supported by Open Evening events, an annual prospectus, community events (Easter Fayre, Christmas Market, Martham Carnival), and a news-driven website. No public revenue, ARR, or funding figures are disclosed.
