Ormiston SWB Academy (formerly South Wolverhampton and Bilston Academy) is an academy school (11–18 years) serving the town of Bilston and the southern area of the city of Wolverhampton in the West Midlands of England. On 1 July 2017 South Wolverhampton and Bilston Academy changed its name to Ormiston SWB Academy following a change of sponsor from the City of Wolverhampton Academy Trust to Ormiston Academies Trust (OAT).
It opened in September 2009 to replace Parkfield High School, which occupied a building at Bilston town centre and another at Lawnswood Avenue in the Lanesfield area of Wolverhampton. However, in September 2012, SWB Academy moved to a £25million new build in Dudley.
School Houses
The academy's houses are Attwood, Brindley, Weston, Sanderson and Sixth (an exclusive form for only 16-19 year old Sixth form students). They are named after Richard Attwood, James Brindley, Simon Weston and Tessa Sanderson.
The academy's school colours also directly relate to the academy's houses: Attwood is blue, Brindley is purple, Weston is red, and Sanderson is green.
