Admissions

Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy is sponsored by Ormiston Academies Trust (OAT), which is the admissions authority for this academy. However, admission to the academy is organised through the Local Authority. For more information on how to apply and how to get in touch with the relevant team, click here or contact the Local Authority on 01782 234234.

The Local Authority is responsible for our September admissions, in-year admissions and the appeals process – please contact them directly to discuss any of these matters.

If the academy is oversubscribed, i.e., we have more applications than we have spaces in our academy, we will use the oversubscription criteria listed in the admissions policy for the relevant year to allocate places. Where we are oversubscribed, we will maintain a waiting list. Please note that your child’s position on the waiting list may move up or down. The waiting list must be ranked in line with our admissions policy criteria, and therefore, the waiting list is re-ranked with each new mid-year admission request. To see a copy of our admissions policies, see our policies page here

Visit the school/tours

The school runs open events every year, but also offers school tours. We are very happy to show prospective parents around our academy throughout the school year. We hold our Open Evening in September, and booking arrangements will be advertised on the website and via social media. If you would like a personal tour of the academy, please contact the office on 01782 882 200.
