About Oasis Academy Immingham
Oasis Academy Immingham’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.38 places it comfortably above the North East Lincolnshire local authority average of -0.57, meaning pupils here make stronger progress than the typical secondary student in the area. That gap is significant: the school is performing roughly a fifth of a grade per subject better than the LA baseline. It ranks 6th out of 11 schools in the authority on this measure, putting it in the middle of the pack locally, though still within the bottom 50% nationally. The school’s Attainment 8 score sits at 39.2, and just under half of pupils (49.2%) achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. The EBacc average point score of 3.47 reflects a solid but not outstanding breadth of academic study, with 36.4% of pupils entering the EBacc suite of subjects. Compared with the LA average, the school is clearly doing better than the norm, but there are notable internal variations.
Digging into the Progress 8 breakdown reveals a mixed picture. English progress is close to the national average at -0.14, but maths progress is markedly weaker at -0.77, suggesting that numeracy is an area where the school struggles relative to literacy. The EBacc subjects as a whole sit at -0.31, while open subjects are slightly better at -0.34. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. This was an ungraded inspection that confirmed the school remains Good, following a graded inspection in 2016 that had already awarded that rating. The previous inspection in 2014 had rated the school Requires Improvement, so the trajectory has been positive over time. The school does not have a sixth form, so all 582 pupils are in Years 7 to 11, and the school is operating at about 65% of its 900-pupil capacity.
For the 2025/26 admissions round, Oasis Academy Immingham was oversubscribed, receiving 125 applications for 106 places, with all 106 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1.18 suggests a school that is popular locally but not fiercely competitive. Facilities include a theatre, science labs, an astro turf pitch, tennis courts, and a chapel, reflecting the Oasis trust’s heritage. Sports offered range from rowing and martial arts to rugby and swimming, while clubs include the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, coding, and eco club. The school’s SEND register covers a wide range of needs, including dyslexia, speech and language difficulties, and social, emotional and mental health support. With 31.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, this is a school serving a relatively disadvantaged community, and its above-average progress scores suggest it is adding real value for those pupils. It would suit families looking for a solid, improving secondary in northern Lincolnshire that outperforms the local average, particularly for English, and offers a broad extracurricular programme.
