Oasis and Big Education – consultation on a proposed merger

Oasis Community Learning and Big Education Trust are exploring the possibility of joining together to create a stronger, more effective family of schools. Big Education, like Oasis, is a deeply values‑led organisation, and there is strong alignment in our missions and approaches. This potential partnership gives us an exciting opportunity to bring together the very best of both organisations to benefit our children, staff, and the communities we serve.
