Oasis Academy John Williams is a very special place to learn and work. Our last Ofsted visit was in September 2017, where we retained a judgement of being a ‘Good' school with ‘Outstanding' Leadership and Management, and we believe that we have moved yet closer to our aim to become the exceptional school our community deserves. We value strong relationships with our parents and carers, and know that through working closely together it is ultimately our young people who benefit.
We like to keep things straightforward at OAJW, and as such our priorities are simple. For our young people we want everyone to become a self-regulated and independent learner who achieves their personal best. We do this by ensuring access to an exceptional curriculum delivered expertly by well supported practitioners in a positive learning culture. We also know the journey through life can at times be challenging. This is why we support our young people every step of the way through the delivery of a strong and coherent pastoral curriculum and a careers programme that helps prepare them for the next phase of education or training.
People matter. For our staff we place a high value on personal development and professional learning. At OAJW we very much believe in a sense of ‘team' and working together in support of one another and the wonderful young people we serve. We therefore invest heavily in supporting the growth of our team believing that if our young people are surrounded by caring, committed and talented staff that they will be best placed to achieve remarkable success.
