Ormiston South Parade Academy, part of Ormiston Academies Trust, is celebrating a standout set of SATs results that put its pupils well ahead nationally.

This year, 82% of pupils achieved the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (RWM) – 20 percentage points above the national average of 62% – while 63% reached greater depth in maths, reflecting a strong culture of academic ambition and achievement.

The results highlight OSPA’s commitment to high standards, expertly delivered teaching and a nurturing environment where every child is supported to succeed. They also build on the school’s ongoing work to develop a curriculum that both challenges and inspires pupils to reach their full potential.

The strong SATs performance follows a highly positive Ofsted visit earlier this year. Inspectors praised OSPA for its “high ambitions for pupils’ academic achievement,” “warm, caring atmosphere,” and inclusive culture. Pupils were described as “confident,” “proud ambassadors,” and “well prepared for secondary school.” This supportive and ambitious environment has clearly contributed to the academy’s impressive SATs outcomes, with pupils thriving both personally and academically.
