Welcome to Oasis Community Learning

Our vision is to deliver Exceptional Education at the Heart of the Community. We understand the complex responsibilities that education has, and the impact on an Academy’s entire community. To achieve our vision we aim to develop a sense of character, competence and community within each individual.

Our ethos is centred around a model of inclusion, equality, healthy relationships, hope and perseverance. It is a statement of who we are and therefore the lens through which we assess all that we do. Our ethos permeates every aspect of our work and each Academy community.

We are committed to raising the standard of education for every single young person we serve whilst closing the gap for disadvantaged students. 50% of the students we serve come from disadvantaged backgrounds, but we believe there should be no barriers to exceptional education.

Be part of our journey to exceptional

In 2014 30% of our inspected Academies were judged to be ‘Good’ or better by Ofsted, we are now pleased to say that our sustained improvement rate has risen to 81%. With 81% of secondaries and all-throughs inspected rated ‘Good’ or better, we are above national average. We need people with an unwavering belief in our vision to join us on our journey to exceptional.

Continual professional development

Working so strongly within small regions means additional professional development. Staff benefit from annual regional conferences and precise school to school support throughout the year to share best practice. This not only ensures our staff are the very best of the best, but also so our children receive the very best entitlement, regardless of which Oasis classroom they are in.

Are classroom pets the answer to better learning?

Having animals in the classroom is not by any means a new concept. When asking our national staff whether they had pets in their classrooms, many of us remember Guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters and rats with fondness. In fact, some of our academies have school pets today - including a dog! We wanted to explore the benefits of introducing an animal into the education setting.

What does effective careers guidance look like in school?

Some young people will have careers aspirations from a young age, whilst others will flutter though the school years wanting a change in career every week or not really thinking about it at all. To help ease the overwhelming uncertainty that comes with making decisions and taking steps towards a chosen career, we are sharing with you some of our thoughts on what a good careers guidance programme looks like in schools today.

Selling your school: The Education Marketing Taboo

When speaking to educationalists, it comes as no surprise that their focus is, wait for it, education. Marketing isn’t always on their minds. Surely good teaching and strong results are enough to get parents through the doors? Not anymore. Prospective families have a checklist of requirements for their school of choice, wanting the very best for their children. So how do you stand out in the education marketplace? We are sharing with you our top tips to be on top of when it comes to marketing your school.
