For over a decade Oasis Community Learning has been helping children reach and realise their potential, with the vision of providing “exceptional education at the heart of the community”. All 56 of our Academies are committed to achieving this vision through developing character, competence and sense of community with every child. We aim to provide a rich educational experience underpinned by our philosophy of education; inspirational leadership, deep learning and healthy communities. We hold an expansive vision of the role that education can play in contributing to building strong and vibrant communities and our Academies are all part of community hubs. This wider educational experience is an important feature of our Academies. Born out of the global charity Oasis, the overarching ethos is reflected throughout the Oasis family; Equality, Inclusion, Healthy Relationships, Hope and Perseverance. Driven by a strong sense of social justice, our exceptional staff and Academies apply high expectations and raise the bar of what all pupils can achieve regardless of their context or starting point.
