Oasis Academy Coulsdon is a 'good' school and 'is providing its students with a good quality of education.... The Academy is a caring environment in which students develop a clear sense of values and their behaviour is good". (Ofsted, March 2011).
Speaking at the Grand Opening of our £18.7m rebuild in November 2011, Lord Adonis said that our Academy was 'inspirational' and 'had all the makings to become a fantastic school'
Overall, 2011 GCSE results were the best ever - our achievement in KS4 English places our Academy in the top 15% of schools in the country. This year we expect 60% of our students to achieve five or more A* - C grades including English and Mathematics.
Our multi-million pound building programme has transformed the Academy into an outstanding and flexible learning environment. All classrooms are designed to accommodate different learning styles, with breakout areas, quiet zones, and extended rooms for large debates or team teaching. There is a dedicated Sixth Form Centre with small tutorial rooms, lecture area and private study facilities. The Academy has first class sports facilities including two Sports Halls, Dance Studio and Fitness Suite, an Internet Café. All Learning Zones are equipped with the latest IT facilities and satellite-linked equipment. Our modern cafeteria serves breakfast, lunch and snacks to accommodate our students' flexible and extended study periods. Our facilities also include an on-site nursery with discounted staff places.
At Oasis Academy Coulsdon we are committed to full inclusion and the belief that every person matters: students, parents/carers and staff. We are guided in all we do by our Mission and Vision Statement and the belief that we can make a difference to lives. We offer an outstanding induction programme, collaborative working with other Oasis Academies and the opportunity to share good practice. Our 'outstanding practitioners' and leadership development programmes provides staff with extensive opportunities for professional development and career progression.
