What the school offers its staff

Why Consider Oasis?

If your list of favoured ‘dead or alive’ dinner party guests is more stacked in favour of Archimedes, Edison, Marie Curie and Darwin than Kardashian, Trump, Presley and Simpson then we may be on the same visible spectrum wavelength.

We need an inspirer of minds and a transferer of knowledge who understands the difference between “theory," "hypothesis" and "model" and a knack of how to get bright young minds to want to understand that difference. We need a science devotee with a belief that everyone has the right to learn and to progress.

Sound like your cup of Triethylamine?

In return we’ll give you access to personal development to progress your career, maybe via NPQ’s or if you have loftier ambitions, as a National Practitioner; a highly supportive network of peers and professional educators and an ethos and culture that is committed to delivering the best teaching and learning for all.
