Ormiston Sudbury Academy is an 11–16 secondary school in the town of Sudbury, Suffolk.[1] The school was established in 1972 as Sudbury Upper School, following the country wide introduction of the comprehensive school system, to serve the expanding town of Sudbury, and its surrounding villages. Sudbury Upper School was an amalgamation of Sudbury Grammar School, the High School for Girls and the Secondary Modern School. The school became an Academy in 2012, operated by the Ormiston Academies Trust.[2]
The Academy has a student population of approximately 600, previously there was a sixth form but it was discontinued in September 2022.[1] The Academy draws students from several priority primary schools, in and around Sudbury. In addition, the academy attracts students from outside its catchment area.[3] The academy specialises in Performing Arts.
The Academy is the lead associate school for the Royal Shakespeare Company in the Eastern Region, one of just 25 in the country. The Academy gained platinum Arts Mark award and gold Sport England's Award.
