Description

It was built in the 1960s for boys and girls aged 12–16. Much of the school has been expanded over the years and in 2006/07 major building work was undertaken to accommodate the inclusion of Year 7 pupils, and generally update the buildings, bringing the school roll in September 2007 up to near 1,000 pupils.[3]

Flegg High has a specialism in Business and Enterprise, and is a National Hub for that specialism. The school was rated Good in the 2016 Ofsted.[4]

In February 2018, Ormiston Academies Trust took over the high school, turning it into an academy. It was renamed "Flegg High Ormiston Academy".[5]

Academics

Flegg students complete a Key Stage 3 in three years where the full Key Stage 3 National Curriculum is covered.[6] Key Stage 4 commences in Year 10, allowing the students the opportunity to study core subjects and 4 in greater depth than in Key Stage 3. This follows the Ormiston teaching philosophy of Teach and Develop and Change.[7]
