Welcome

Welcome to Ormiston Sandwell Community Academy, OSCA

I am proud to be Head of School here at OSCA where we strive to be an inclusive education provider that treats every child as an individual. We are a large secondary school, with the feel and values of a family.

Part of being a member of the OSCA family is to be challenged and have high expectations of ourselves and each other, while in an inclusive, supportive environment. We as a team have the highest aspirations for all our students, that puts students in the forefront of
all decision making. Students who attend OSCA will have opportunities which include a high quality curriculum, highly trained subject specialists who constantly review and adapt ensuring the best education for all and in experiences outside the classroom. Being part of Ormiston Academies Trust means we have access to support and values which put community and inclusion to the forefront.

My vision for OSCA is to be the Academy that is at the heart our community, where students develop into leaders of the future in which ever field they aspire to become part of, and where future generations can see an OSCA student becoming the citizens that others
aspire to be.

Our key values underpin everything that we do at OSCA: Excellence through Opportunity, Scholarship, Compassion and Aspiration.
These values are constantly shared and referred to across the academy as we feel they encapsulate all the qualities our young people need to be happy and successful. When you visit OSCA, you will see that this is the case.
