Oasis Academy Putney

Fantastic school - caring, hard working staff who know each individual child. Very impressed with the lockdown learning provision. Wonderful school community!

My grandson attends this school. I have collected him from after-school club which I find extremely unsafe. The gate is left open and children are left playing unattended. It is so easy for anybody to grab a child from the premises. It is also extremely dangerous for children as they can easily leave the premises and go outside of the gate where they can be taken by strangers or hurt by traffic. After I entered the building, I spoke to the after-school carer who assured me that they will keep the gates locked. However, once I collected my grandson and ready to leave the premises, to my horror, the gate was still open. This needs serious and immediate attention as these children's well-being and safety are at grave risk.

So, Im not sure how many people read or write google reviews . But having just seen the previous 2 reviews I wanted to react because I wanted to bring some balance to the last two comments . I have 2 children at Oasis in year 1 and year 3 who are happy, academically supported and who are taught by excellent classroom teachers. Particularly my son in year 3 has a teacher who has given him a love of reading that I would have never dreamed could be a possibility. This school is not perfect. But what school is? Could SOME of the teachers communicate more effectively with parents? Yes. But , whenever Ive gone in to school to volunteer for anything , I see active, engaged , effective teaching and teachers who really care about their students. And in the end thats what matters A couple more add ons whilst Im at it and in case its helpful for anyone -There are great specialists who come in for PE, music, outdoor learning and drama. -The premises is lovely , and well organised which was important for my eldest when he joined ( he had sensory issues when he was 5 that thankfully he has now grown out of) - I love the community feel that comes from hanging out on Putney common after school when the weather allows it!

My two children are extremely happy here, and they have been there since 2017. We have been offered places at other schools but turned them down because we never had a reason to leave. They love going in, they love the learning, and they love their friends. They learn so much - we were blown away with how quickly they learned to read - and they're always encouraged to challenge themselves. I saw this lots during covid when I sat in on the reception lessons, and I witnessed how the teachers tailor the lessons to the right level for each child. I was in awe really how they could achieve this even through zoom and felt so lucky that my child was being introduced to learning by such inspiring people. In fact it is full of excellent supportive teachers. There is a big emphasis on wellbeing and we have found from a number of different teachers that they are very in-tune with how each child is feeling. Teachers have personally contacted us when they have noticed that our children are not quite themselves, and have been extremely proactive about finding solutions and helping our children through whatever their challenge is, no matter how small. There is some truth from the other reviews - there have been changes to management but each time this has been a very valid reason. Mr Lillo who is the principal now is fantastic and has been an extremely positive leader. The afterschool club could be improved , just note that this is run by a company separate from oasis. To end on a positive, as the school has grown I have been impressed with the school remembering to develop the school at all levels - the variety available to the ks2 children has grown year on year , e.g. specialist drama, music and now chess teachers who teach all the classes. I think it is a reflection of what oasis and their management see as important - building well-rounded children. We are very happy with our children here.
