About Oasis Academy Blakenhale Infants

Oasis Academy Blakenhale Infants sits within the Birmingham local authority, a large and diverse primary landscape where only 28 of 292 same-type schools hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself is rated Good, and its closest Outstanding neighbour is Lift Lea Forest, just one kilometre away, which also ranks among the top three peers in the area alongside Little Sutton Primary School and Cromwell Junior and Infant School. As a state-funded, mixed-gender infant school for children aged two to seven, it serves a community with a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals — 47.6 per cent, well above the national average. The school is led by headteacher Farzana Ahmed and operates without a religious character. Its nursery provision means families can start their child’s education from age two, and the school’s 253 pupils fill just over 80 per cent of its 309-capacity site, suggesting there is room for growth.
