About Ormiston Six Villages Academy

Ormiston Six Villages Academy is a secondary school in Arun that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 321 applications for 147 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2. 18 applicants per place. Of those, 139 put the school as their first preference, and 121 of those families received an offer. That level of demand suggests a solid reputation among parents in the area, even though the school does not publish a formal parent-view recommendation percentage. The school is a mixed, non-faith state secondary for pupils aged 11 to 16, with no sixth form. It is led by headteacher Paul Slaughter and currently has 698 pupils on roll, against a capacity of 816, so there is some room for growth. Around one in five pupils (20. 2%) are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average and reflects the school's inclusive intake.
