Ofsted

We had our first Ofsted Inspection in November 2025.

We're delighted to share with you that Oasis Academy Temple Quarter has been judged to be meeting the Expected Standard in all areas following our recent Ofsted monitoring visit. Inspectors highlighted the significant progress made since the academy opened in 2023 and praised the strong foundations now in place as we continue to grow. The academy is currently based on its temporary site on Spring Street and is preparing to move to a purpose‑built permanent home on Silverthorne Lane in 2027.

Strong Academic Progress and High‑Quality Teaching

In their report, Inspectors noted that students “develop their knowledge across subjects and can explain what they know clearly and confidently”, recognising that students in Years 7–9 are achieving broadly in line with national expectations in reading and mathematics.

Teachers were commended for their ability to identify gaps in learning quickly and support students effectively, ensuring they are well prepared for future study. Inspectors described the academy’s curriculum as “well planned and adapted to meet pupils’ needs”, highlighting the consistent teaching strategies used across the school to help pupils learn with confidence.

Positive Culture, Behaviour, and Attendance

Behaviour, attendance, and the wider school culture were highlighted as key strengths. Ofsted praised the “highly effective routines” that help the academy run smoothly, as well as the positive relationships developed between staff and students. Inspectors also recognised the academy’s firm stance on addressing bullying or derogatory language.

Attendance during the academy’s first two years exceeded national averages, including for disadvantaged students and those with SEND—an achievement noted as evidence of the school’s inclusive and supportive environment.

Commitment to Inclusion and Pastoral Care

The report acknowledged the academy’s clear commitment to inclusion, mental health, and wellbeing. Inspectors praised the effective support in place for students with SEND and the tailored interventions provided through the new ‘Enrich’ department. The academy’s dedicated focus on emotional and mental health needs was highlighted as a particular strength.

Leaders were commended for their determination to remove barriers to learning and for working closely with external partners to support pupils facing challenging circumstances.

Rich Personal Development Programme

Oasis Academy Temple Quarter’s personal development programme was recognised for helping students “to develop character and teamwork skills”. Pupils benefit from a wide range of clubs, cultural experiences, and opportunities delivered through the academy’s ‘Choices’ provision.

The report noted that students “show respect, confidence and positive attitudes” and commended the way the academy’s values of compassion, curiosity, and confidence are embedded in daily life.

Ambitious Leadership and a Strong School Culture

Inspectors highlighted the strong leadership that has guided the academy through its formative years. The report praised leaders’ “imagination and determination” in establishing a new school, building staff capacity, and creating a positive, ambitious culture for students of all backgrounds.
