None at all.  All places at the Academy will be free and available to the local community within an admission policy that mirrors the admissions arrangements for other local community schools.  Students will be accepted irrespective of ability or faith

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.  

Oasis Academy South Bank has an extended school day to allow for a rich and diverse curriculum.  Due to this, homework will be kept to a managable amount, reflecting the longer day.  We want students to be able to enjoy time with family and friends in the evening.  There is an after-school homework club to incorporate the completion of homework into the school day. This runs Monday - Thursday, 5 - 5.30pm and provides children with extra learning support where necessary.

Yes. All Special Educational Needs (SEN’s) will be met by the school.  Any child with additional needs or complexities will be catered for to ensure they progress in line with all other students.  The extended school day will also help respond to Special Educational Needs by providing children with the appropriate level of care and support. 

The class sizes will be determined by the students’ abilities and particular learning needs.  House groups will comprise of 20 students, but subject groups will be differentiated.
