About Oasis Academy Short Heath

Oasis Academy Short Heath sits within Birmingham local authority, a large and varied primary landscape where it ranks 54th out of 254 schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure — placing it comfortably in the top quarter of all primaries in the city. Among its immediate peers in the local area, the school is outperformed by the likes of Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest, all of which sit at the very top of the local rankings. Still, for a school serving a community where just over half of pupils are eligible for free school meals, this is a strong showing. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Christ The King Catholic Primary, about a mile and a half away, which gives some context for families weighing up their options within this part of Birmingham.
