Orion Education has been recognised with the Sutton Trust Fair Admissions Gold Award, reflecting the trust’s commitment to widening access and strengthening opportunity across its schools.

The award recognises the work undertaken by Orion Education to review and embed fairer admissions arrangements. As part of this approach, all schools within the trust now prioritise pupils eligible for the pupil premium for 20% of available places, ensuring that disadvantage is not a barrier to accessing high‑quality education.

In a recent guest blog, Orion Education’s CEO, Simon Garrill, explores the trust’s values‑led approach to inclusion and explains how fair admissions support stronger, more diverse school communities. The blog outlines why these changes were introduced and how they align with Orion Education’s broader mission to champion opportunity for every child.
