If you're a parent weighing up Oasis Academy Ryelands, the numbers from the most recent Parent View survey are striking. Of the 90 families who responded, 99% said they would recommend the school. That's a near-unanimous vote of confidence, and it's backed up by the detail: 99% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 98% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular in the local area too. For the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 173 applications for 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.88. Of the 65 families who put it as their first preference, 54 were offered a place.
