About Oasis Academy Long Cross

Oasis Academy Long Cross is a primary school in Bristol that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 65 applications for 54 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.2. Of those applications, 51 were first-preference choices, and 51 first-preference offers were made — meaning every family who put it as their top choice secured a place. That’s a reassuring signal for parents considering the school, especially in a city where competition for primary places can be stiff. The school’s parent-view data isn’t available here, but the healthy application numbers suggest a solid local reputation. It’s a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision on site, and currently has 521 pupils on roll — well above its official capacity of 315, which indicates it’s a popular and well-used school in the community.
