We are delighted to share that Ofsted has judged our academy to be meeting the ‘Expected Standard’ in all areas! The report highlighted the progress made since we opened in 2023 and the early foundations now in place as we continue to grow.
In the report, Inspectors noted that students “develop their knowledge across subjects and can explain what they know clearly and confidently”, with students in Years 7–9 achieving broadly in line with national expectations in reading and mathematics.
Our teachers were praised for identifying gaps in learning quickly and supporting students effectively, ensuring they are well prepared for future study. The curriculum was described as “well planned and adapted to meet pupils’ needs”, with our staff using consistent teaching strategies that help our students learn with confidence.
Behaviour, attendance and the wider school culture were highlighted as real strengths. Ofsted recognised our “highly effective routines” that helps our academy run smoothly, the positive relationships between our students and staff, and our academy’s firm stance on tackling any incidents of bullying or derogatory language. Attendance in our academy’s first two years was above national averages, including for disadvantaged students and those with SEND.
The report also praises our clear commitment to inclusion and pastoral care. Inspectors highlighted the effective support in place for students with SEND, the tailored interventions offered through our new ‘Enrich’ department, and a dedicated focus on emotional and mental health needs. Our leaders were commended for their determination to remove barriers to learning and for working closely with external partners to support our students in challenging circumstances.
Our personal development programme was also cited to ‘help pupils to develop character and teamwork skills’, with students benefiting from a rich programme of clubs, cultural experiences and opportunities through our ‘Choices’ provision. The report also states that students “show respect, confidence and positive attitudes” and that our values of compassion, curiosity and confidence are clearly lived out in daily life.
Inspectors also recognised that our leaders have actively focused on a ‘strong culture’ and have guided our academy through its early years. The report praised our leaders’ “imagination and determination” in establishing a new school, building staff capacity and creating a positive, ambitious culture for students of all backgrounds.
Mr R James, Principal of Oasis Academy Temple Quarter said:
“We are proud of this Ofsted report and the recognition it gives to our students, staff and families.”
“To receive positive feedback at such an early stage in our academy’s journey is a testament to the hard work, belief and commitment of our whole community. Our students are thriving, our curriculum is something to be proud of, and our values are lived out every day.”
“We are excited to continue building on these foundations and ensuring every child receives the excellent education they deserve.”
Looking ahead, we are preparing to launch our first Key Stage 4 offer next term, introducing a broad range of subjects and qualifications delivered on the evolving Spring Street site. Working closely with the Department for Education and project partners, our leaders are on track to open additional specialist classrooms in September 2026, ensuring students benefit from high-quality facilities ahead of the move to the permanent Silverthorne Lane campus.
We will be welcoming current and prospective families for tours as we enter this next stage of growth. All information will be published on the academy website in due course.
