About Oasis Academy Benson

Oasis Academy Benson received an Inadequate rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a significant drop from the Good rating it held in 2018. The inspection found the quality of education and leadership and management to be Inadequate, while early years provision was rated Requires improvement. On a more positive note, inspectors judged both personal development and behaviour and attitudes as Good, suggesting that the school’s pastoral environment remains a relative strength. The most informative exam metric available is the local authority’s average Key Stage 2 score of 63 for Birmingham primary schools, which provides a benchmark for the area. Without published KS2 results for the school itself, it is difficult to assess how Oasis Academy Benson’s academic outcomes compare, but the Ofsted judgement indicates serious concerns about the quality of teaching and curriculum delivery.
