  • 18 July 2016 Ms Lynne Dawes Headteacher Oasis Academy
    Ofsted Piccadilly Gate Store Street Manchester T 0300 123 4234 M1 2WD www.gov.uk/ofsted 18 July 2016 Ms Lynne Dawes Headteacher Oasis Academy Hadley South Street Ponders End London EN3 4PX Dear Ms Dawes Short inspection of Oasis Academy Hadley Following my visit to the school on 22 June 2016 with Michael Merva and Shaun Davies, Ofsted Inspectors, I write on behalf of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills to report the inspection findings. The visit was the first short inspection carried out since the school was judged to be good in March 2012. This school continues to be good. The ambition and culture of high expectations have been sustained since the last inspection. This is evident in the much-improved progress of Year 1 pupils who achieved extremely well in the 2015 phonics screening checks, the results of the Year 2 national tests and the GCSE examinations at the end of Year 11. Since the previous inspection, practice has been improved. You ensure that, in all phases, the rates of progress for pupils are at least good from starting points that are typically significantly below average when they enter the school. Your strong leadership and management of this growing school have led to staff working very well together under a cohesive team of senior leaders. All teaching staff are held to account for pupils’ achievement and welfare under the strategic direction of the Oasis Board and local governing body. Together, you all promote the Hadley Way, one of the distinguishing features of the school, by encouraging pupils to ‘aspire, achieve, care, and endeavour’.
