About Oasis Academy Leesbrook

Oasis Academy Leesbrook is a large secondary school in Oldham with 1,254 pupils on roll against a capacity of 1,500, meaning it is operating at around 84% capacity. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 47.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for secondary schools. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 280 applications for 255 places, making it officially oversubscribed. Of those applications, 157 were first-preference choices, and all 157 first-preference applicants were offered a place. That oversubscription ratio of 1.1 to 1 suggests a school that is popular locally but not yet at the point where securing a place feels like a lottery. The school is non-denominational and takes pupils aged 11 to 16, with no sixth form on site, so families will need to plan for post-16 options elsewhere.
