Oasis Academy Temple Quarter

On 13^th April 2022 planning consent for Oasis Academy Temple Quarter was granted, marking a key milestone in the project to deliver a much-needed secondary school for children in Central East Bristol.

The academy is forecasted to open in its permanent building on Silverthorne Lane in September 2025 subject to achieving further milestones, and work is now underway preparing the site for construction.

To meet the need for school places from September 2023, the Department for Education and Bristol City Council is working towards opening the school in temporary accommodation on a site at Spring Street, Bristol, BS3 4PZ.

Oasis Community Learning is working closely with our partners Bristol City Council, Department for Education and developer Square Bay to build an academy that will best serve our students and local community.

Oasis is determined that the academy is an outstanding school from the very start, and therefore we have appointed an experienced school leader, Alison Eynon, as our Temple Quarter Development Lead. Working across the preparations for the Academy, she is already establishing strong links within our community, and with our neighbouring schools and businesses.
