"GUIDE: Be cautious"

would have been 0 stars, literally made me lose faith in all of humanity and up and leave town. honestly couldnt have gone worse, they replace the bad staff with worse. i attended from 2018 and i have family still attending and nearly everyone who goes here ends up either dropping out, transfering, suicidal, in juvinile, pregnant or doing drugs and vaping. most people from my year have gone down horrible paths and this school did not help support or guide people. they thought by having overly frequent knife arches and police it would encourage us to be smart and make good choices but it only scared us making us think we did something wrong. i know so many people who back in the day ended up carrying because they felt unsafe around other students because we than learn not to trust eachother and it was horrible. the staff were ignorant and so dismissive if you tried to talk to them about and mental health concerns and blame everything on hormones or test stress. my family still go here and most of the staff that were problems for me are now gone but from what ive been told theyve only been replaced with more incompitent and condisending staff but all i can say is if it was my child, i wouldnt let them go here

"My experience being a student in Oasis Academy Coulsdon."

I was a student there from 2018 to 2023, and my experience in that school was absolutely awful and hypocritical. I with autism hated it and did NOT get along with the students and the staff. The students that I was with were VERY rude and disrespectful. The way they speak and act was just so abnormal, like they are part of a gang or something and when they do something bad, they get away with it. I sometimes get picked on and get bad-mouthed by the students due to how I act and if I show my true feelings, the students will think of me as a cry baby or they will say "That's just him acting like a weirdo" or something that relates to that. Yes, I can be weird and do weird stuff but that is just who I am because I am not the same as these students and I act and do stuff differently and the way they treat me is horrible. The staff were awful and had lack of logic! Especially the principle because she was entitled and ignorant. They didn't help me and how they explain things is not great at all. Sometimes, whenever I speak about my problems to the teachers, they will lie and say the same STUPID sentences like "We will deal with it" or "We will sort it out" and don't do anything. And the way they treat me is not that good. They will take the bad student's side rather than the good ones. The rules were so complicated and had lack of common sense, the services and safeguarding were absolutely dreadful, the school was like a prison, most of the toilets haven't been looked aftered and a couple of the doors were broken, the lessons did NOT help me at all and I did not feel safe. And because of all this, I felt really restricted. And also, some of the staff have been exposed as pedos, hypocrites and other things. And to conclude this, this school that I was part of IS A MASSIVE DISGRACE! The hypocrisy of this school is DISGUSTING! So that is my experience being a student in Oasis Academy Coulsdon.

"ONLY THE FOOD IS GOOD"

This skl is so petty that they don't even let you use the toilets in lessons, they make you wait for ages for lunch to the point u starve. The teachers are so bad they aren't even helpful. Miss green u need to sort out ur school yeah cuz I'm tired of the people and their attitude. And why did you ban phones we could've used them but instead u had to use all ur money for iPads and cases. This skl is so messed up and I get so bored and tired of it. Miss Green if you see this I hope you know that I think your skl is rubbish and it really needs improvements. Bye yall

"I’ve been here for a while and I’ve noticed something"

Ok I know I don’t go here but I just wanted to point out that on almost all of these oasis schools I’ve noticed a pattern: they all have poor qualities. I’m not even commenting on this one in particular. (This one did seem like one of the absolute worst though) and also yes I know that all schools have ups and downs, bad reviews etc… But since I don’t go here I rated everything average as I would like to stay neutral. But I’ve repeatedly come across so many bad reviews on all these oasis schools. 🫥

"DONG GO"

This school is so bad don’t go guys

Teachers here don’t care about metal health and a teacher has threatened the students multiply times and nothing has been done. Test week is coming up and teachers are saying how disappointed they are in the students for failing. If you care about your kid DONT send them here unless you want them to end up with all sorts of metal heath issues.

I do not recommend this school.
The staff couldn’t care less about students mental health and are the reason for many panic attacks and suicidal thoughts. The school wants everybody to be and act the same. There are so many restrictions like not Jewellery and coloured hair as it’s dIsTRacTING

"Don’t go"

they will give the most vulnerable and scared kids detentions for small thinks like walking on the wrong side of the corridor or being genuinely late or forgetting your iPad and then proceed to shout at their face in front of a ton of people. And then wonder why they are to scared to come into school the next day.

But then the kids who don’t care about anything will also get away it. If they get a detention and they don’t show up. Chances are they will get away with it. And if they do something. Teachers know that because they will probably argue back and they can’t be asked, they just pretend to ignore it.

"Detailed Review on this school! Quite bad."

Teachers are alright. Some are racist and homophobic. One english teacher is rude and very racist. Shes told students to die, stop breathing, she's threatened to kill them. School doesn't handle bullying well. Always seems to care about other cultures but only celebrate LGBTQ only because of deputy head. Students are rude. Also food is mid and is quite expensive. Toilets are very bad. Doors usually missing in boys toilets, locks never work. Overall classrooms are messy. Many teachers struggle to keep class under control. Have already mentioned this, but school is racist. Many students are judged on how they look, culture etc. They seem to celebrate chinese new year but a day after, the chinese flags go down and they suddenly go back to LGBT flags. They seem to care for other students, but students who are racist, islamiphobic etc only get a warning. Wouldn't recommend school unless absolutely needed. Behaviour is atrocious in classes.

"domt go"

this school is like squid games with no prize, everyday you want to go home and suicide, this school is infested with mid, i was the only peak fiction in this school and was treated poorly, i would’ve rather they called me a slur so i didn’t have to stay for so long, after spending 7 hours at this godforsaken place i felt my inner attack titan roar out amd want to destroy the school grounds and make it a wasteland, i remember when the school forced to partake in humping and crimping otherwise known as dance physical activity. this physical activity was limited to the weaker sex, the uterus havers (women) and the one gay kid, which made me want to gouge out my eyes and eat the fellow students taking part, do not ever enter this festering cesspool, it should be declared chemically toxic from the amount of spray tan and lynx africa that enters the building. the colour of lime green makes my heart thump, palms sweat, and my bowels move erotically from the ptsd of this school.

do not go

"DO NOT GO THERE"

God this school...

If you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent or deal with mental illness, DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!! The bullying here is god awful, the faculty do nothing to provide help or support with anything, the 'jokes' in this school are r slurs, transphobia and homophobia all rolled into one heaping pile of feces. They dont understand what mental illness is. I was called out multiple times in class because I was having a PANIC ATTACK. They dont talk enough about LGBTQ+ representation, and when they do its in a manner where it is open to homophobia and idiocy by the 'popular' groups where they do not get punished. Do Better Oasis, because its now hard for me to talk about my identity to people as i fear people will pierce their fangs into my skin like they once did to close friends who were open about theirs.

Dont even get me started on the toilets and how disgusting they were , 90% of the toilets were unusable due to blockages or the stall door being broken.

Oasis get ahold of where you spend your money, dont buy god damn olive trees over fixing toilet stalls.

"not recommend "

The children who revive free school meals can only get a drink or food and can’t get both due to the ridiculous prices The student reception charge 10p for a disposable cup and they refuse to give one most of the time. So some kids won’t drink at all through the day. Unless they ask a member of staff which is no good for children with social anxiety. So some children go hungry. Some of the staff are more strict on the year 7s compared to the other year groups

"Amazing, just needs a few improvements "

Good and modern but needs a repaint, they get new teachers quite often and they don’t stay at the school along time, they move to other oasis academies. Some teachers tho have reached their expiry date but some don’t have one, good and is well managed through the organisation hierarchy, average WiFi speeds but great computers, just need to upgrade the yoga books as they are rubbish. Students need to be able to link their 1tb one drive to file explorer.
