About Ormiston Meadows Academy

Parent feedback at Ormiston Meadows Academy paints a mixed picture. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, 81% of the 42 respondents said they would recommend the school. That’s a solid majority, but the detail reveals some sharp divisions. For instance, while 84% of parents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy, 16% disagreed or strongly disagreed. Similarly, on whether the school gives SEND children the support they need, 56% strongly agreed but 25% strongly disagreed, with no parents simply agreeing. The school is clearly popular in terms of demand: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 51 applications for 29 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.76, and all 28 first-preference applicants were offered a place. That suggests a school that local families are keen to get into, even if the parent experience isn’t universally glowing.
