WARHE‘O ORMISTON’ & WHAT DO THEY DO? A WORD FROM PETER MURRAY... My family and I set up the Ormiston Trust in 1969 in MUPRERTAERY memory of my sister, Fiona Ormiston Murray, who FOUNDER, ORMISTON was killed in a car crash along with her husband ACADEMIES on their honeymoon. Fiona adored children and TRUST all of my life I have also cared passionately about providing the very best learning opportunities for young people, no matter what their background, interests or circumstances. All of Ormiston’s work revolves around young people- they are our focus, and we always endeavor to ensure that our decisions will have a positive impact on their lives. Everyone at Ormiston Academies Trust shares these beliefs and together we will ensure that our academies are safe places, that they engage with the local community, include parents, businesses and other schools and, most importantly, give our children the very best environments in which to learn and enjoy. Ormiston Victory Academy is a great example of what Ormiston is trying to achieve, and the opportunities they offer are outstanding. The academy’s transformation shows how hard work and dedication can give young people the opportunity to flourish, whatever their circumstances. I am extremely proud of the outstanding achievements of your children and what they have done to ensure that Ormiston Victory sustains its place as an outstanding academy.
