About
School overview
Ormiston Forge Academy is an oversubscribed secondary Academy and sixth form located in the Old Hill area of Cradley Heath, West Midlands, England. We have around 1,600 students aged between 11 and 19. In March 2016, October 2019 and April 2025, the Academy was graded Good by Ofsted, making us 'Two Good' in our educational provision. Generations of families have attended Forge and we have a strong alumni programme where former students can stay in touch. But for us it's about knowing. We get to know each and every child, we know families and we all work together.
