About Ormiston Beachcroft Academy
Located in Westminster, Ormiston Beachcroft Academy provides a caring environment based on integrity, mutual respect, and understanding. It seeks to reignite passion in education and aspiration.

We are a small provision with both primary and secondary learners. Our learners are at risk of, or have been excluded from mainstream settings. We serve the Westminster borough and we believe that success for our young people comes because of our specialist approach; we are interested in activities that develop all young peoples capabilities; their potential for employability; their ability to have successful healthy relationships; their ability to make safe life choices, enhancing their quality of life and the realisation of their aspirations.
Our approach considers our young peoples education experiences to date, their social-emotional health, their mental health, their family situation and experiences, and their special educational needs (SEN). We work closely with professionals, families, and other practitioners to affect change in our young peoples lives, ensuring our work is holistic and therefore creates success by any means for all our children. We are proud of the work that we do, and the environment of our school is caring supportive, and inclusive. We believe that through this approach we support our children, enhancing their quality of life and promoting the realisation of their aspirations.
Pupils enjoy coming to Ormiston Academies. Staff work closely with pupils. They find out about their needs and the barriers to learning they may have had at their previous schools. Pupils said that they know the staff cares about them and their well-being.
