A Message From the Principal
I am delighted to welcome to you to Oasis Academy Watermead.
There is something very special about Oasis Watermead and we are incredibly proud of our amazing children, supportive parents, inspirational staff and forward thinking Hub Councillors, where we all work together to make Watermead a safe, happy and fun place to learn.
At Watermead we have learning and high standards at the heart of all we do. We encourage all our children to achieve the best they can across every area of the academy – academic or extra-curricular.
Our aim is for our children to be confident, caring, resilient, inquisitive young people with a desire to learn and achieve the best they can, in all they do. We place great emphasis on our Oasis 9 Habits, teaching our children how to become responsible citizens whilst understanding their place within the world.
Our children are wonderful ambassadors, so if you would like to know more about our academy family then please contact us on 0114 201 6800 or email me at: info@oasiswatermead.org
