Oasis Academy Silvertown opened in 2014. It is smaller than the average-sized mixed comprehensive school within the Oasis Community Learning multi-academy trust. Since September 2014,the school has moved between temporary sites and is currently located on Rymill Street, Newham. Physical education takes place at Newham Leisure Centre, as there is no on-site sports hall or playing field. Through the trust, the school has received support from other Oasis Community Learning schools.[2]

Oasis has a long term strategy for enhancing the performance of its schools.

  • It has devised a standard curriculum, that each school can safely adopt knowing it will deliver the National Curriculum.
  • It has invested in staff training so they are focused on improving the outcomes for the students
  • Horizons, through its Horizons scheme it is providing each member of staff and student with a tablet computer.[3]

Curriculum

Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and there success is judged on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'.[4] Schools endeavour to get all students to achieve the English Baccalaureate qualification - this must include core subjects a modern or ancient foreign language, and either history or geography.

Building

The permanent home, 65 Evelyn Road, E16 1TU will be handed over in late 2021. It is being designed by Rivington Street Studios to BB103 Area Guidelines for Schools[5] and will achieve a BREEAM “Excellent” rating.[6] It is to be a 5 storey 'super block', built on the site of a former fire station. Building began in October 2020. [7]
