So proud to inform our community that, after our recent Ofsted visit, OAS has been grades as "Good" in every category. An incredible transformation from Special Measures three years ago and much deserved recognition for the hard work of our staff and students.
Following a tragic incident in our community last week, it is with sorrow and grief that we are sharing with you that a Y8 student has sadly died this morning in hospital, surrounded by loved ones. Our thoughts are with family and friends.
Absolutely delighted to share that Izzy has been elected as Student Voice President! Her first order of business? Ringing her dad to let him know
#Congratulations
