What we’ve been reading this summer: Oasis Academy Leesbrook's 'What you Saying?' magazine

This summer, colleagues across Oasis have been sitting down with a cuppa and the third edition of What you Saying?, Oasis Academy Leesbrook's student magazine. 

Packed with fantastic stories, thoughtful features and brilliantly creative content, the magazine offers a perfect insight into life at the academy through the eyes of its students.  

We particularly enjoyed reading editor Ayra's This Much I Know interview, Year 7 student Saaliba's insightful feature on the history of the Black Death, Year 11s Mahnoor and Faaidat's heartwarming friendship story, Year 9 student Crystal's look at The Hive, the academy's dedicated inclusion space, and Year 9s Cayla and Abbey's surprisingly easy-to-follow TikTok dance steps! 

Now in its third termly edition, the magazine is a fantastic reflection of our students' talents, ambitions and voices, showcasing a wide range of interests, skills and perspectives from across the academy community. 

If you haven't had a chance to read it yet, be sure to pick up a copy at Oasis Academy Leesbrook, or take a few moments to browse one of the copies available at Devonshire House in Waterloo. It's a wonderful celebration of student voice and an inspiring reminder of the creativity, curiosity and confidence of our young people. 

A big thank you to the What You Saying? editorial team for kindly sending us a few copies. We can't wait to read the next edition!
