Who We Are
We are for community. A place where everyone is included, contributing and reaching their God-given potential.
Established in 2004, our vision is to create "Exceptional Education at the Heart of the Community." Beginning with three secondary schools in Enfield, Grimsby and Immingham, we have since grown into one of the largest Multi-Academy Trusts in England, a family of 52 primary, secondary and all-through academies in five regions across the country.
We serve over 28,000 young people, 49% of whom are from disadvantaged backgrounds and 31% speak English as an additional language.
Each of our academies, and the services behind them, are committed to creating exceptional entitlement that ensures that our students have real choice in their lives. We want them to leave at the end of their time at school equipped, ready and eager to make the most of their next steps.
We are also committed to a model of inclusion, equality, healthy relationships, hope and perseverance and this permeates all aspects of the life and culture of each academy and the organisation as a whole. This is made clear in our Education Charter, our public promise to our students, which you can find out more about here.
Oasis Hubs
We know that great schools are only sustainable within happy and healthy communities. In order to tackle the root causes of disadvantage we seek to ensure that school improvement and community development go hand in hand. In this way, the improvement is likely to be deeper, mutually supporting and long lasting.
Our academies are therefore just a part of an Oasis ‘Hub’ that provides wide-ranging and integrated services, designed to meet the needs of local people. Our shared aim is to work with and alongside disadvantaged children, young people, whole families and members of the wider community, empowering them to transform their neighbourhoods into places that are safe, supportive and full of opportunity. We want to see no one excluded or isolated, inclusive communities where every individual is supported to thrive and flourish.
