Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeology was commissioned by Balfour Beatty Construction to undertake an archaeological monitoring exercise and evaluation, on land at Ormiston Park Academy, Aveley, Essex RM15 4RU in the Borough of Thurrock. The work was necessitated in advance of a planning application for the redevelopment of the school. The monitoring exercise was conducted between the 15th and 22nd of March 2012 and involved the archaeological supervision of geotechnical investigations. These comprised ten trial pits, five boreholes and five window samples. The evaluation took place between the 2nd and 5th of April 2012 and consisted of seven trial trenches designed to investigate the archaeological potential of the site. These ground works revealed that the naturally lain head deposits, comprosed of variable amounts of sand and gravel mixed with substratal London Clay, did not contain any anthropogenic evidence and had undergone a degree of horizontal truncation, probably during the construction of the existing development. A layer of buried topsoil, which is likely to predate the establishment of the current school, was discovered in Trench 7. No other features of archaeological significance were discovered although several modern truncations relating to the extant premises were encountered.
