Brownhills Ormiston Academy (BOA) supports every child to achieve their potential regardless of their background and starting point. Throughout their BOA career our students are supported to become well-adjusted members of the academy and wider community with high moral values and self-discipline.
The academy is committed to academic rigour. We expect students to work hard to develop knowledge and skills, and to be highly ambitious about their futures. All students are encouraged to be life-long learners and to think deeply; they are supported to be curious and to develop their confidence to learn more and experience more.
BOA collaborates with parents and families to keep students safe and to ensure that students are happy and are very ready for their next steps in education, training and employment.
The academy, through its excellent pastoral support and enrichment opportunities, develops students’ character, so they are respectful, have good manners and know how to respond appropriately in different social situations. They learn how to be ready for life as responsible young adults.
The values of the academy are exceptionally important to us and underpin our work and interactions.
