Examination Performance

Rapid and Significant Improvement in GCSE Outcomes results among excellent success stories for the class of 2025     

After two years of hard work and studying, students at the academy, have shared their joy in taking home the well-deserved results. These results reflect not only academic success but the rising momentum across the school, where aspiration, ambition and values are shaping a bright and exciting future for every student.   

There is an absence of national progress data in 2025, due to this cohort of students not sitting KS2 sats in 2020 when their education was disrupted by covid, however almost every metric in every subject has seen an improvement on 2024 results. With the key 4+ Basics (students achieving a 4+ in both English and Maths) improving by 3% on 2024 and 5+Basics (students achieving a 5+ in both English and Maths) improving by 7%.  

 This year’s achievements come at a time of rapid growth and transformation at the academy. With a united leadership team across both Ormiston Flegg High Academy and Ormiston Venture Academy, the academy is moving forward with a bold vision, ensuring students benefit from world-class teaching, a shared culture of excellence and expanded opportunities for leadership and enrichment.  

 At Flegg High, all students are encouraged to achieve their very best academically, socially, and personally through an ambitious and inclusive curriculum alongside a wide range of enrichment and extracurricular opportunities. The partnership between the two Ormiston schools is already delivering impact – combining strengths, resources and a shared belief that every child deserves the very best.   

 As Flegg continues its upward trajectory, these results are not only a reflection of student achievement now, but a powerful indication of the future to come.  

Simon Gilbert-Barnham, Senior Principal at Flegg High Ormiston Academy, said:        
“We are incredibly proud of our exceptional Year 11 students. Their achievements are a true reflection of their hard work, determination, and resilience, supported by their families and our dedicated staff team.  

 “These results come at a time of great excitement and ambition for the academy. We look forward to seeing all that these students go on to accomplish in the next stage of their education and beyond, and we know they will continue to thrive in whatever path they choose.”
