About Oasis Academy Enfield

Oasis Academy Enfield’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.17 sits below the Enfield local authority average of 0.09 for secondary schools, meaning pupils here make less academic progress between Key Stage 2 and GCSEs than their peers across the borough. That gap is modest, but it places the school 14th out of 23 similar schools in Enfield, in the bottom half locally and the bottom 50 per cent nationally. The picture is mixed when you dig into the subject breakdowns: English progress is essentially flat at 0.02, while maths drags the average down at -0.27. The EBacc element is a relative bright spot, with a positive progress score of 0.19, and 79.7 per cent of pupils entered for the EBacc combination of subjects — a high take-up that suggests a broad curriculum offer. Attainment 8 sits at 40.6, and just over half of pupils (51.4 per cent) achieved a grade 4 or above in both English and maths.

At Key Stage 5, the sixth form is smaller, with 35 pupils in the data, and the value-added score of -0.46 is rated ‘Below average’. Points per entry grade is a C, and the average best three A-levels also come out at a C grade. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2025 judged it Good across all five graded areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision — a consistent improvement from its previous Good rating in 2015, where sixth-form provision was also Good. Parent opinion is split: 61 per cent of respondents would recommend the school, but only 42 per cent agree their child is happy, and just 29 per cent strongly agree the school supports wider personal development. Concerns about bullying and how concerns are handled show notable disagreement, though 55 per cent of parents feel their child is safe.

The school is oversubscribed: for 95 Year 7 places in 2025/26, it received 221 applications, with 73 first-preference offers — a ratio of 2.33 applicants per place. Facilities are strong for a state school, including a swimming pool, astro turf, tennis courts, a sports hall, and art studios. There are nine SEND provisions on offer, covering specific learning difficulties, speech and language needs, autistic spectrum disorder, and social, emotional and mental health support. Clubs include Model UN, Young Enterprise, and debate, while sports range from gymnastics to martial arts. This is a school that suits families who value a broad curriculum with strong EBacc entry rates and a wide range of facilities, but who are comfortable with academic outcomes that sit below the local average and a parent body that is notably divided on pastoral and communication issues.
