Our premises are available for use by local community groups and our new build programme will enable us to offer extensive sporting and leisure, business and commercial facilities for community use. Our Well-Being Centre will be extended and local residents will benefit from a range of holistic and health initiatives. A programme of adult educational opportunities will also become available.
We currently work in partnership with a number of community groups, including The Safer Neighbourhood Team, The Rotary Club of Old Coulsdon, Old Coulsdon Residents Association, Extended Schools network and School Sports Coordinator. We have strong links with our local primary schools: Byron, Coulsdon CofE and Keston Primaries and work closely to provide opportunities to benefit their pupils and ours.
Students are increasingly involved in community projects and are made aware of their social and environmental responsibilities through our programme of citizenship and pastoral guidance.

Oasis Academy Coulsdon are currently looking at ways that we can build a partnership with Home-Start Croydon, providing support to families in the local community.
"Home-Start is a voluntary organisation committed to promoting the welfare of families with at least one child under the age of five. Volunteers offer regular support, friendship and practical help to families under stress in their own homes helping to prevent family crisis and breakdown"

Aye mate! And welcome to limbo! Problem: I have no idea what page you're trying to work on. You need to define a body ID in the template, then turn on the necessary rows and columns in layout.css. Arrrrgh!
