OAE Parent/Carer Bulletin
Exceptional Education at the Heart of Enfield
Welcome Back!
Welcome back to a new school year at OAE! We hope you and your families enjoyed a restful and refreshing break. As we begin this term, we are excited to continue building a supportive and inspiring environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and personally.
Last academic year, the OAE students in both year 11 and year13, achieved the best ever set of outcomes. So thank you for all support and commitment to ensuring that our students, achieve their potential and beyond.
This year, we remain committed to working in partnership with you to further support all of our students achieve their full potential. Your involvement, encouragement, and collaboration are vital to their success, and we truly value the role you play in our school community.
We look forward to a year filled with new opportunities, meaningful learning, and shared achievements. Thank you for entrusting us with your children’s education, and for being an important part of our journey together.
Congratulations to all our new year 7 students on a brilliant first few days of secondary school! We’re delighted to welcome both our students and their families into the Oasis community. Throughout their first few days, they took part in an exciting scavenger hunt, explored our LEARN ethos and 9 Habits, created presentations for our upcoming parents’ evening, learned the rules and routines of secondary school, and spent time getting to know one another and their teachers. It’s been an impressive start, and we can’t wait to see all they achieve this year!
We have already shared this with you but wanted to clarify the uniform code for September.
We are obliged to meet the Government's requirement of issuing only three compulsory Oasis Enfield Academy branded items. This means that we will require students to wear the following items, with the Oasis Enfield logo:
- Blazer
- PE top
- Tie (which will continue to be the current blue tie with the oasis circle)
We are no longer expecting you to purchase a branded V neck jumper or branded PE shorts. A plain black V neck jumper will be permitted and navy sports shorts for PE. Lycra shorts for PE are not permitted.
With regards to the issue surrounding warm weather in the summer term, we will continue with the process we had in the summer term, where we relax the uniform code and allow students to wear a PE kit when the temperature is extreme. We have also introduced an extra summer option Oasis Enfield branded polo t-shirt, which is optional.
Please be reminded that under no circumstances should nuts or any food containing nuts be bought into the academy.
The academy is a nut free school, and we have students with severe life-threatening nut allergies.
The Academy attendance target is 96%. We are currently at 92.3%. Your support in ensuring that you child attends school everyday is essential in securing success for them. Every day missed, means that opportunities to learn are missed and the chance of success is reduced.
