Dear Parents/Carers
Since the two Oasis Academies opened in Southampton in September 2008, we have faced many challenges - predecessor schools merging and split sites to name just two.
However, we are in this for the long haul and in year one, to see that our results have improved, some dramatically so, as well as improvements in discipline and respect is a great credit to our leadership teams, staff and students. Recent Ofsted inspections also highlight the substantial improvements made since our tenure.
There are of course areas which we know need addressing. However 'Rome was not built in a day' and we are determined to play our part with our local communities where aspirations are high, and are committed to seeing all of our students and indeed the whole of the local community reach their potential. We are therefore looking forward in anticipation to the next period of improved development.
Best wishes
Steve Chalke, MBE
Founder and CEO, Oasis Community Learning
Aye mate! And welcome to limbo! Problem: I have no idea what page you're trying to work on. You need to define a body ID in the template, then turn on the necessary rows and columns in layout.css. Arrrrgh!
