Curriculum

Key Stage 3.

Pupils will all follow learning programmes leading to National Curriculum assessments in English, Maths and Science. All pupils follow the Learning 21 approach to the curriculum. This will focus on the development of pupils’ skills and talents. They will have access to the humanities, arts, technology, sports, languages and ICT. Options are available within certain subject areas, for example Technology.  In addition many areas start their GCSE programmes of study at the end of Year 8.

Key Stage 4, 13-16 phase

We place an emphasis on securing the best possible outcomes for all of our students and encourage the majority of students to study a GCSE programme in line with the English Baccalaureate. This is further complimented with a range of BTEC certificates and Vocational opportunities. As a specialised Engineering Academy we will develop experience in a variety of Engineering focussed activities, we believe in promoting equality in all that we do and place an emphasis on removing gender stereotypes as we promote opportunities for all of our students through work related learning.

With a diverse range of opportunities in our 6th form we are focussed on ensuring all of our students achieve and have the opportunity to continue with their education through further and higher education.

Key Stage 5, 16-19 phase

Since opening in September 2008, the Oasis Academy Sixth Form has continued to flourish. Currently over 3 sites, our sixth form offers level 2 and 3 courses, both academic and applied learning. Level 3 courses include AS and A2 levels, Btec National Awards, Btec National Certificates, OCR and CACHE. Our inclusive policy is second to none and we value every post 16 student regardless of ability and background. Students who have attended our sixth form have progressed to Higher Education, apprenticeships and full time employment.
