Holocaust Memorial Day Assemblies
On Monday, 24th January, we held special assemblies at Oasis Academy Enfield to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day. This important occasion allowed our students to reflect on the atrocities of the Holocaust, the impact of prejudice and discrimination, and the importance of standing up against hatred in all its forms.
Through powerful stories and moments of reflection, students were encouraged to consider how they can contribute to building a more inclusive and compassionate society.
We are proud of our students for their engagement and the respect they demonstrated during these assemblies. As a school, we remain committed to educating our young people about history and the values of tolerance, empathy, and justice.
Chinese New Year Celebrations at OAE
On Wednesday, 29th January, we celebrated Chinese New Year at Oasis Academy Enfield with a range of exciting activities. Students and staff joined in the festivities by wearing something red, a colour symbolising good luck and prosperity in Chinese culture.
During form time, students explored the significance of Chinese New Year, learning about traditions and customs. They also had the opportunity to write their names in Chinese, embracing a new cultural experience.
To mark the occasion, our canteen offered a special Chinese-themed menu, giving students a taste of traditional dishes and adding to the festive atmosphere.
As part of our ongoing celebrations, on Monday, 10th February, Miss Silva will be taking a group of students to Chinatown, where they will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Chinese culture, explore traditional decorations, visit cultural landmarks, and enjoy authentic cuisine.
It was wonderful to see our school community come together to celebrate this important cultural event.
Our year 9 students have been taking part in a MasterChef finals, lead by Miss Mehmet, during their food tech lessons. Students were given the brief of creating their own signature dish, sweet or savoury.
Our guest judges included, the Principal Mrs Robinson, along with Ms Paris and Ms Holbard.
After some deliberation, the winners of the MasterChef trophies were awarded to:
- Steak and Chips: Analise
- Kinder Bueno Cheesecake: Jaida
Well done to all the students for creating their delicious dishes, using their excellent cookery knowledge and skills.
The Mock exam start dates will take place after half term on Wednesday 26th February until Tuesday 11th of March 2025.
Mrs MacInnes, Head of Year 11, has provided revision bags for all of our committed year 11 students, ensuring that they have all the handy stationary needed to support them whilst revising.
This term in the Drama and Performing Arts Department, it’s all about rehearsals and performances! Our Year 7 students are diving into the world of physical theatre with a spooky play called “Darkwood Manor.” They’ll be working in groups to devise their scenes and will have four rehearsal lessons before their big performance.
Year 8 is bringing Shakespeare to life with “Romeo and Juliet.” Each class is studying a different part of the play, and at the end of the term, all classes will come together in the theatre for a read-through performance. It’s a fantastic opportunity for them to experience the magic of this timeless classic.
Our Year 9 students are preparing to take their options next term. They’re exploring their creative abilities in acting, singing, and dancing, and will be given an assignment from the Year 10 BTEC syllabus to see if it’s the right fit for them. It’s an exciting time for them to discover their inner artist!
In the 6th form, it’s all hands on deck as they prepare for several performances. The highlight is their rendition of “Hamilton,” which will be touring primary schools after half-term in a mobile, compact version. They’ll also be auditioning and rehearsing for the end-of-year production. We can’t wait to see their hard work pay off!
We also offer enrichment for drama in Year 7 and all years on Thursdays, where students are studying ballet, contemporary dance, and devising their own work. We look forward to inviting parents to see “Hamilton” in the summer, with publicity to be presented after the Easter break.

Students are expected to attend the Academy in full school uniform each day. Items that do not meet with the uniform policy, including hoodies, will be confiscated and returned to the student at the end of the week. Students will be rewarded with L points for consistently meeting our high standards and C points if they are choosing to persistently fail to meet our high standards. If your child has a uniform issue, please contact the Academy via info@oasisenfield.org and we will support them to be dressed correctly each day. Students get the opportunity to borrow items from our uniform shop, each day, to ensure that they start the day well. This is located in the Oasis Community Space on the A floor and is open from 8am - 8.20am each day.
Full uniform details are found on our website:
We are thrilled to announce a fantastic new opportunity for our Year 11 students! Oasis Academy Enfield has partnered with Sarah from Navigating Careers to provide personalised career advice and one-to-one guidance interviews. Sarah brings a wealth of experience in careers advice and is dedicated to helping young people explore their options, develop their goals, and take the next steps toward a bright future.
The one-to-one interviews will focus on each student’s unique strengths, interests, and aspirations, helping them make informed decisions about further education, apprenticeships, or career opportunities. Whether students are considering university, vocational pathways, or exploring their skills and talents, this support will empower them to feel confident in their choices.
To complement this, we are also excited to unveil our brand-new Careers and Guidance Room! This space has been specially designed to provide a welcoming and inspiring environment where students can access resources, hold their guidance meetings, and explore a wide range of career pathways.
This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to preparing students for life beyond school and helping them achieve their full potential. If you would like more information or have any questions about this exciting new development, please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs Alaya.
