Staff and students of all faiths are welcome to be part of each Oasis Academy and faith is not a factor in the admissions criteria for the school.  The academies are 'schools of religious character' in order to enable Oasis' ethos of inclusion, which is grounded on the Christian faith, to be prominent in the school's character.

Academies are publicly funded independent schools.  The majority of the funding comes direct from central government.  The  Education Funding Agency  (formerly the YPLA)  will fund the annual running costs of the academies via a grant each academic year.  The sponsor has responsibility for the day to day running of the academy.  Oasis academies are sponsored by Oasis Community Learning, an exempt charity.

Academies are state-funded independent schools and in many cases, join an academy network or family.  

If your child is too unwell to come into school you must notify the academy office as soon as you can by calling 0161 290 4000, option 1. Student absences are recorded and on return we expect a letter of explanation. 

You must contact the academy each day that your child is unwell. 

If you child becomes sick during the school day, they will be instructed to visit a First Aider, who will assess the extent of the illness and call appropriate parents/carers. 

No jewellery should be worn apart from small stud-type earrings.  Small discrete watches may be worn.  Any religious jewellery should be worn beneath clothing.

We strongly believe in the importance of school uniform as we believe it helps create a strong sense of identity and unity.  As such it is compulsory that it is worn at all times of the school day.  Click here to find out more about our uniform.

The school's admissions policy does not have a catchment area as such. Please read our Admissions Policy for more information.

As we are new school we haven't had an Ofsted inspection yet. We will have one within our first 3 years of being open.

Within the Academy grounds, is a turning circle surrounded by drop off bays.  Please drive into the grounds, pull into a bay, allow your child to exit the vehicle safely and drive out of the Academy.  This is for both drop off and pick up.

We have authority to issue same day detentions/corrections for 30-60 minutes without having to notify parent/carer.  If you would like to receive a notification, please download the ClassCharts App.  You can collect your access details from our Academy reception.

No mobile phones out in the Academy. May be switched off and in bag. If they are found they will be confiscated and parents will collect at a time that is convenient for the school.
