About Oasis Academy Marksbury Road

Oasis Academy Marksbury Road is a mixed state primary in Bristol, City of, for children aged 4 to 11. With 373 pupils on roll against a capacity of 390, it is running very close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 38.1%, which is significantly higher than the national average and signals a catchment with considerable socio-economic diversity. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 123 applications for 44 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.8. Of those, 42 were first-preference offers, suggesting that while the school is popular, it is not entirely out of reach for local families who rank it first. The headteacher is Alex Dart, and the school has no religious character.
