Brownhills Ormiston Academy

Brownhills School is a small, friendly community based on the border of Walsall and Staffordshire.  The School benefits from attractive grounds in a rural setting close to major transport routes (A5, M6, A38, M42 & M6 toll).           

Pupil intake is truly comprehensive with pupils choosing to travel from areas further afield in order to benefit from the high quality of teaching and care, guidance and support that the School provides.                      

Academic standards have risen rapidly in the past few years, demonstrating the ambition of the school to ensure that all pupils achieve highly.  Alongside this, the School has continued to provide a dynamic Creative Arts programme.  The School choir is the largest in the borough and its musical and drama productions are excellent.  Sport and health activities are a key feature of a thriving extra curricular programme.                          

The School is run along department lines with each department line managed by a member of the SLT.  The size of the School allows for extensive cross curricular staff development which benefits all staff.  The curriculum reflects an emphasis on the core subjects, however it remains broad and balanced.                                   

When recruiting staff, we see all teachers deliver a lesson before proceeding to interview as it is the quality of our teachers that makes the greatest difference to the lives of our young people.                                                                

We are interested in staff who are passionate about teaching as a career and want to make an impact here.  Subject specialism is important, however we like to employ staff who will motivate and inspire our pupils and add to the enrichment opportunities for them.
