Oasis Marksbury Road was opened in 2015 as a two-form entry school for pupils aged 4 to 11. It started with one class of Reception children. At the time of the inspection there were two Reception classes, two Year 1 classes and one Year 2 class. The school continues to grow year by year. The school is currently smaller than the average-sized school. The majority of pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of pupils from ethnic minority groups is below the national average, as is the proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils supported by the pupil premium funding is average. The school runs a breakfast and after-school club. The Trust Board of Oasis Community Learning provide governance in partnership with the regional director. Inspection report: Oasis Academy Marksbury Road, 10–11 July 2018 Page 10 of 12 Information about this inspection The inspector visited every class in the school more than once to observe teaching and learning in a range of subjects. These visits were conducted with the principal. The inspector also scrutinised pupils’ work to review progress over time. The inspector met with staff, middle leaders, the regional director and members of the academy council. The inspector spoke to pupils both formally and informally, including at playtimes and lunchtimes, to gather their views on the school. She also listened to a group of pupils read. Documents relating to safeguarding, pupils’ outcomes, strategic planning, behaviour, attendance and the curriculum were scrutinised. The inspector gathered the views of parents by considering the 75 responses from the online Parent View survey and speaking to parents at the start of the school day. Inspectors also took account of the views of the 13 staff who completed the inspection online survey.
