Oasis Academy Connaught is a proud school and Nursery in the heart of Knowle West, blessed with large grounds and recent refurbishment. Oasis Academy Connaught has a highly unique curriculum which aims to ensure all children make excellent academic progress and have a high level of engagement and challenge; enabling them to learn the skills they need to be successful.

However, not only are we a vibrant, happy school for children, we are also a hub for the whole community, providing, amongst other things: a coffee shop, toddler groups, family support and a range of adult education.

Parents are not only welcome but take an active role in leading activities within the school. We also benefit from strong links with Oasis Academy John Williams and Oasis Academy Brislington.

Oasis Academy Connaught is driven by a powerful ethos which aspires to treat everyone inclusively and recognises the importance of a holistic approach to education. As well as continuing to build a strong school and deliver a first-class education, it is also our desire to build a strong community, recognising that educational needs do not exist in isolation from the needs of the whole person.

At Oasis Academy Connaught we recognise the importance of the whole community in educating our children. Support goes beyond the classroom and beyond the Academy gate. Parents, carers, families and other members of the community are invited to be involved in the life of our Academy.

The Academy Values are:

Be Brave - be brave enough to make good choices, to take good risks and make the world a better place.

Be Brilliant - take pride in all you can do.

Believe - believe in yourself.

Be your best! 

Everything within Oasis Community Learning is framed by our ethos.

Our ethos is rooted in what we believe and who we are. Grounded in our story, it is an expression of our character; a set of values that inform and provide the lens on everything we do.  

• A passion to include
• A desire to treat people equally respecting differences
• A commitment to healthy, open relationships
• A deep sense of hope that things can change and be transformed
• A sense of perseverance to keep going for the long haul

It is these ethos values that we want to be known for and to live by. We are committed to a model of inclusion, equality, healthy relationships, hope, and perseverance throughout all the aspects of the life and culture of every Oasis Hub and academy community.

We encourage every member of our family, be that staff or student, to align themselves to these ethos values. The values themselves are inspired by the life, message and example of Jesus but we make it clear that we will not impose on anyone, the beliefs that underpin our ethos values. We recognise and celebrate the richness that spiritual and cultural diversity brings to our community, respecting the beliefs and practices of other faiths in the hope that we will provide a welcoming environment for all.

The Oasis 9 Habits

The Oasis Ethos is aspirational, inspirational and something that we have to constantly work at. It is important to remember that every organisation is made up of its people, and people don’t always get things right. This means that there can sometimes be a dissonance between what we say we are, as stated in our ethos values, and what we actually do and experience.

Recognising this is helpful because it reminds us that we each have things to work on; we have space to grow, develop and change to become the best version of ourselves.

To help us in this process of personal growth and development we have the Oasis 9 Habits. It is our bespoke and unique approach to character development. We know that by living the way of the Habits, the Oasis Ethos will become second nature to us.

We also believe that this process of continually developing our character and being transformed to become the best version of ourselves is really important for every student and staff member alike. Therefore, we actively promote and practice the Oasis 9 Habits which are an invitation to a way of life characterised by being compassionate, patient, humble, joyful, honest, hopeful, considerate, forgiving and self-controlled.

We believe that by becoming people who live this way, by becoming the best version of ourselves, whether we are a staff member or students, we are transformed, and we are also able to play our part in bringing transformation locally, nationally and globally.  

And this is who we are.

• Compassionate
• Considerate
• Forgiving
• Honest
• Hopeful
• Humble
• Joyful
• Patient
• Self-Controlled

We are privileged to be one of the largest and fastest growing multi-Academy sponsors in England, with over 40 Academy schools opened since 2004.

Our mission is to create and sustain a network of excellent learning communities where pupils can realise their full potential.

We are proud of the progress that Oasis Academies are making towards delivering an exceptional standard of education. Across the Oasis family of Primary Academies, the progress that pupils make is above the national average and, in 2015, this meant that 76% of pupils achieved at least Level 4 in Reading, Writing and Maths.

In Secondary Academies there has been a 14% improvement in the headline attainment measure of 5A*-C including English and Maths despite the more rigorous way this is being calculated.

As well as delivering first-class and innovative education, Oasis builds 'Hubs' in the places it works. Hubs provide integrated and diverse services to benefit the whole community. Through our exceptional education, we can achieve our vision of improving lives by bringing inclusion, opportunity and community transformation.
