Our Values

Our mission: Every Child will make good progress

Every child matters

We identify and develop the gifts, talents and interests of all our pupils. Our curriculum and extended opportunities enable all pupils to engage in their education, enjoy learning, achieve success and experience accelerated learning by having the opportunity to take qualifications at an earlier stage. We also help them learn how to be healthy and stay safe. They make positive contributions to their school, their community and the wider world, developing spiritual, social, physical, emotional and economic well-being. The achievements of all our pupils are always valued.

Education for all

There is an expectation that all members of our community will become excellent life-long learners.  Staff have opportunities for professional development through teamwork, training within the innovative environment of the Academy. Our educational facilities are shared with local organisations and local people.

It takes a whole community to educate a child

This statement lies at the centre of all the Academy wants to achieve. We aim to employ first-class staff. Support goes far beyond the classroom into the local community. Parents, carers and families of our pupils are expected to be involved in the partnership that is the education of the whole child. Through our specialisms of Engineering and Business and Enterprise we engage with local, national and international partners using the Oasis links to facilitate the education of our pupils.

Love your neighbour

Our work is motivated and inspired by the life, message and example of Christ. We recognise the richness that spiritual and cultural diversity brings to our community. We respect the beliefs and practices of other faiths and will provide a welcoming environment for pupils of all faiths and those with none. We recognise that we are stronger together and value collaboration. We aim to develop an understanding and tolerance of each other through knowledge, mutual respect, believing the best and forgiveness. Individual rights will be respected and choice will be exercised within a culture of self-discipline.

We expect all students to follow our REACH values:

Respect : I will respect my classmates, teachers, my school property, and myself.

Enthusiasm: I will approach learning with Enthusiasm. I will do things with a positive attitude.

Achievement: I will aim for Achievement in every subject by producing top quality work. I will complete my homework every night, including my required reading.

Community: I will be a positive member of the Oasis Community. I will look for opportunities to help my classmates, my school, and my town.

Hard Work: I will always practise Hard Work when I approach a task. I will come to class prepared, focused, and ready to learn. I will give every task my very best.
