Welcome

We are thrilled to introduce you to the Orsett Heath Academy website, a portal into our vibrant school community.

Since opening our doors to our first cohort in September 2020, we have established a foundation of high expectations, an enriching curriculum, outstanding teaching, robust pastoral care, and a diverse extra-curricular programme, all underpinned by a strong sense of community.

Our progress has been remarkable, culminating in the acquisition of our new £37 million building in the summer of 2024. Located near Thurrock Rugby Club and Thurrock Harriers Athletics Track, this new facility enhances our existing partnerships and paves the way for a thriving sports hub in Thurrock, benefitting students and the wider community alike.

At Orsett Heath Academy, we are dedicated to fostering a culture of ambition and achievement, reinforced by a comprehensive pastoral care system focused on student wellbeing. We partner with families to equip our young people with resilience, capability, and responsibility, preparing them to be conscientious citizens of the future.

Our academic programme offers a broad and balanced curriculum, delivered by committed staff who create exceptional opportunities for both academic and personal growth. This commitment extends beyond the classroom, with a wide array of out-of-school learning experiences that will continue to flourish as our school evolves.

The positive feedback from students and parents over our first three years reinforces our dedication to providing a high-quality education. We remain committed to enhancing our teaching, learning, and pastoral support, ensuring that your children’s school experience is inspiring, challenging, and memorable, laying the groundwork for a successful future.
