Why Orsett Heath Academy?

Orsett Heath is a thriving mixed 11-16 comprehensive school. As a new school, we opened our doors to welcome our first students in 2020. Since then, the school has proved popular with parents and students, and we are oversubscribed in all year groups. We have created a successful school of which students and staff are incredibly proud.

In the summer of 2024, we moved into our new £37m school building adjacent to our previous purpose-built accommodation. When full, the new building will have 1200 students and be amongst the largest in Thurrock. We are looking for highly motivated, talented and ambitious staff who share our inclusive ethos and who want to help us grow over the coming years.

Our pupils have a 'can-do' attitude, and the school has focused heavily on character education alongside its academic offer since the school first opened.
