Oasis Academy Mayfield is rated ‘Good’ in all areas by Ofsted!

Staff, parents, and students are celebrating after receiving an overwhelmingly positive report from Ofsted, which states that Oasis Academy Mayfield is ‘Good’ in all areas.

After having inspected the academy over a two-day period (23^rd and 24^th April), Ofsted praised the pupils across the academy, situated on Ashley Crescent in Southampton, for demonstrating the school’s values of being proud, kind and determined.

Here are some of the highlights from the report.

·         “Pupils benefit from a new, ambitious curriculum. Pupils can discuss what they have learned with confidence, and they produce high-quality work.”

·         “Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are very well supported in lessons and take advantage of everything the school offers.”

·         “Pupils across the school demonstrate the school’s values of being proud, kind and determined. They are taught what these values mean and how to behave in line with them.”

·         “There is a very well-planned programme for personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education. This includes an especially strong package of careers education. The school has carefully considered how to raise aspiration by showing pupils not only what careers are available for them but by them providing bespoke help in understanding how to achieve their goals.”

·         “The trust provides highly effective support to the school. This includes in helping to support teacher workload and well-being and through an excellent programme of ongoing professional development.”

Ofsted also praised the school’s strong role it plays in the wider community through the Oasis Community Hub. The report highlighted that the Hub ‘performs an important role in supporting the school’s most disadvantaged pupils, helping them to succeed.’

Claire Taylor, Principal said ‘We could not have achieved these improvements without the backing of parents and the continued hard work and enthusiasm of our staff and students. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank-you to you all for your ongoing support.’
