Values and vision

Oasis Academy Shirley Park’s motto is: ‘Transforming Learning, Transforming Lives, Transforming Communities.’ Central to the ethos of the school is the idea of a rich and balanced educational environment nurturing the whole student - academically, vocationally, socially, morally, spiritually, emotionally and environmentally. The school promotes a balanced, healthy lifestyle, demonstrated through policies regarding Academy meals, involvement in sporting activities and ecological building design.

Oasis Academy Shirley Park’s goal is to raise aspirations, unlock students’ potential and work towards achieving excellence through encouraging a ‘can do’ culture which nurtures confident and competent people. It believes this can be achieved through high-quality facilities, outstanding staff, clear leadership, a positive, affirming environment, and a partnership between students, parents/carers and the Academy. Parents and carers are positively engaged in supporting their children.  

Ofsted

“Students’ achievements are outstanding. Regardless of their starting points, all groups make exceptional progress to exceed the national average greatly by the end of Year 11. Teaching is outstanding because staff are highly committed to ensuring that their students fulfil their potential. They have very high expectations of the students and successfully challenge, nurture and support them at every stage in their studies. Outstanding leadership and governance, especially from the inspirational principal, ensure that the academy makes rapid progress and meets its challenging targets.”
