Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy, aka OSSMA (formerly Blurton High School) is a mixed secondary school with academy status located in Blurton, Staffordshire, England. The school is named after the English footballer Sir Stanley Matthews and is sponsored by Ormiston Academies Trust.

Established in 2010, OSSMA was one of the first schools in Stoke-on-Trent to gain academy status and in January 2013 moved into a brand new, state-of-the-art, multimillion-pound building.

Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy was officially opened in May 2014 by HRH The Duke of Gloucester, KG GCVO.

In 2014 the academy had its best ever GCSE results in the history of OSSMA and its predecessor school; Blurton High School, making it, for the second year running, the highest achieving, non-selective academy in the city of Stoke-on-Trent. September 2014 saw its biggest intake of Year 7 students, with over 230 applications being made, of which 214 were successful.

In 2014, Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy won the West Midlands region, Pupil Premium Awards and was praised by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg on the "fantastic work" that goes on in the academy on a daily basis.
