About Ormiston Endeavour Academy

Ormiston Endeavour Academy is a popular choice among Ipswich families, with 114 first-preference applications for 143 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.3. This suggests the school is well-regarded locally, though it is worth noting that 186 total applications were received, meaning some families who listed it lower on their preference form were also keen. The school does not publish a parent view survey, so direct feedback from families is not available, but the oversubscription figures indicate a solid level of demand. Headteacher Jamie Daniels leads a mixed, non-denominational secondary for pupils aged 11 to 16, with 739 students on roll against a capacity of 900. Just over 31% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and gives some context to the school’s intake.
