About Oasis Academy Mayfield

Oasis Academy Mayfield is a popular choice among Southampton families, with 171 first-preference applications for just 176 Year 7 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, resulting in an oversubscription ratio of 1.94. This means nearly two families applied for every available spot, a clear signal of local demand. The school made 165 offers to first-preference applicants, so being first on the list matters. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high application numbers suggest a strong reputation in the community. The school is a mixed, non-religious secondary for ages 11 to 16, with no sixth form, and is led by headteacher Claire Taylor. It currently has 884 pupils on roll, just shy of its 900-pupil capacity, and a significant 45.7 per cent of students are eligible for free school meals, reflecting the diverse intake the school serves.
