Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Oasis Academy Brightstowe. 

Oasis Academy Brightstowe is a child centred, inclusive academy and I am extremely proud to be the Principal.

Positive relationships are at the heart of everything we do. We recognise that every interaction, no matter how small, has the potential to positively impact the experience and outcomes for our students. Every child is seen, valued and supported at Brightstowe.

The curriculum is broad and balanced to prepare students for life beyond school. It is designed to provide challenge and ambition, encourage curiosity, whilst ensuring it is accessible for all. We know student progress is expedited when each of these elements is present, striving to balance academic outcomes with personal development. At Brightstowe we believe every child can be successful and we all have a capacity and responsibility to help them to do so.

We actively support out students through dedicated pastoral teams, fostering healthy relationships and a strong sense of community. We provide guidance and support during relational conflict and through life’s challenges.  We encourage cooperation, collaboration and teamwork by offering a wide range of opportunities, including extra-curricular activities, student leadership roles and Inter-House competitions.

At Oasis Academy Brightstowe, we have four core values that we call our 4Rs:

Relationships – We prioritise strong relationships between students, staff and our families; building these from Primary to secure a positive transition to secondary school.

Respect – We respect our environment and each other; celebrating our differences.

Responsibility – We take responsibility for our actions and for our community.

Resilience – We keep going, pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone so that we grow; even when this takes time.

Thank you for visiting our website and I look forward to keeping in touch through our regular newsletters and letters home.
