Ormiston Victory Academy

What Ormiston Victory Academy does

Ormiston Victory Academy is a state-funded secondary school and sixth form located in Costessey, Norwich, England (Middleton Crescent, NR5 0PX), operating as part of the Ormiston Academies Trust (OAT) network of academies. The institution delivers education across Years 7-13, including Key Stage 3, GCSE preparation, and the Lord Nelson Sixth Form offering A-Levels, Cambridge Technical Awards, and BTEC qualifications. Its curriculum spans core academic subjects (English, Mathematics, Science), humanities, modern languages (French, German, Spanish, Mandarin), creative and performing arts (Drama, Dance, Music, Photography, Fashion and Textiles), and vocational pathways including an on-site Beauty Salon for VTCT Level 2 Hair and Beauty training. Enrichment is delivered through the Victory Adventures programme, the Duke of Edinburgh Award, performing arts productions under the Victory Façade banner, and partnerships with Norwich Theatre Royal, the RSC Regional Playmaking Festival, the Sainsbury Centre, Norwich University of the Arts, and the Greenpower Kit Car Challenge.

The academy's revenue model is anchored on government education funding routed through the Education and Skills Funding Agency based on pupil enrolment, supplemented by transactional income from ParentPay-processed educational trip payments and ancillary revenue from facility lettings (external hire of school premises). Formal education is free at the point of use in line with UK academy funding rules. GTM is direct-to-consumer in the form of formal admissions: students enter through Norfolk local authority secondary school allocation, while the sixth form operates a separate applications process with dedicated contact channels. Distribution is regional, limited to the Costessey/Norwich catchment area. The institution is wholly owned and controlled by Ormiston Academies Trust, a not-for-profit multi-academy trust; it does not have venture capital, private equity, or public ownership exposure.
