About Oasis Academy Brislington

Oasis Academy Brislington was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. The school's Progress 8 score of -0.29 is the most telling exam metric, placing it in the 'Below average' banding nationally. This means that, on average, pupils achieved nearly a third of a grade less per subject than their peers across England with similar starting points. Within the Bristol local authority, the school ranks 13th out of 20 secondary schools on this measure, putting it in the 65th percentile. While the score is below the national average of zero, it is worth noting that the school serves a community where 28.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure significantly above the national average, and its Attainment 8 score of 40.9 reflects the overall grade profile achieved by its students.
