"A School of Sanctuary That Truly Is"

We're so grateful to have found Oasis Academy Watermead. The 'School of Sanctuary' concept really resonated with us, and we've seen firsthand how it creates a safe and inclusive environment for all children. Our child loves the after-school clubs and feels so proud to be part of such a vibrant community.

"Mixed Feelings About Oasis"

We've had a bit of an up-and-down experience at Oasis Academy Watermead, to be honest. On the one hand, the school's commitment to diversity and inclusion is truly admirable, and our child has benefited from the varied extracurricular activities. However, we've experienced some communication breakdowns with the teachers, which has left us feeling a bit frustrated at times.

"Our Child's Oasis Home Away from Home"

Oasis Academy Watermead truly is a special place! As a former parent, I can confidently say that my child thrived in this nurturing environment. The teachers were kind, patient, and genuinely cared about each child's development. We loved the diversity of the school and how it was celebrated.
