A Message From the Principal
I am incredibly proud to be the Principal of such a vibrant and progressive Academy that works hand in hand with its community to ensure that our students develop the right character whilst they are in our care.
Our ethos is built firmly on our pillars of the community: mutual respect, pride, creativity, resilience, ambition and an atmosphere which regards the whole community as our family.
Our aim is to develop open-minded, flexible, resilient young people who can be successful in modern Britain and contribute positively as global citizens.
The curriculum students will enjoy whilst at Lister Park enables students to progress to the top universities and apprenticeship programmes, but I firmly believe in balance and the emphasis we place on arts and practical subjects allows all our students to have successful outcomes and develop their areas of interest and excellence through a comprehensive extra-curricular programme.
I am passionate about the potential of each and every one of our students and the community we serve and look forward to working with you and your child over the coming years.

Our Community
We offer opportunities for extended learning beyond the core Academy day. Our extended provision through our Hub team is at the centre of our community work. The team deliver a wide range of services which engage public, voluntary and business sectors in the establishment of a centre of education and lifelong learning. We aspire for the Academy to be at the heart of our local community, recognised by others for our clear understanding and support of local issues and awareness of community needs.
At Oasis we recognise that people are not two-dimensional beings; we are each a whole person with a broad range of aspirations and needs and these needs are interconnected. To truly help someone with their educational needs, it is vital to also be aware of their emotional needs, spiritual needs and economic needs.
As such, we believe in communities that are holistic, interconnected and totally inclusive. We call our model for these communities ‘Hub.’
We are part of the Oasis Hub: Lister Park.
