Oasis Academy Enfield opened in September 2007 as a new academy. Initially a group of portacabins and a pioneering spirit, the Academy moved into its £30 million purpose-built accommodation two years later on Innova Business Park, 12 minutes walk from Enfield Lock Station.
The Academy has enjoyed considerable success in its 15 year history. In 2018, Ofsted confirmed that we continue to be a good academy.
Academy leaders and staff share high expectations for all students
Students behave well, and treat each other and staff with respect
Safeguarding is a strength of the Academy, and staff are proactive at supporting the children to stay safe both in school and out
Students feel safe and happy in school. Parents support this view and are happy with the progress their children are making
We provide students with high quality teaching, which not only enables them to make to the best possible progress and achieve the highest grades, but also equips them with the skills, behaviour and character, which will help them be successful and make a positive contribution to their community.
The Sixth Form offers a wide range of courses and the highest standard of teaching and enrichment activities. We want all our students to gain the qualifications that enable them to move onto college, work, apprenticeships or university. Around 95% of our sixth form students progress to university with two thirds going to Russell Group and other leading universities following a wide range of courses from English, History to engineering, psychology and law.
We are committed to providing staff with high quality professional development. Masterclasses run by experienced colleagues focusing on academy priorities are available to all teachers. We hold middle and senior leadership courses run by Institute of Education at UCL open to all staff who want to develop their skills in their current role or look towards the next step in their career.
