Oasis Academy Lister ParkWelcome from the Associate Principal Welcome to Oasis Academy Lister Park. We are a thriving 11-19 comprehensive academy set in the Manningham area of Bradford, close to the beautiful grounds of Cartwright Hall and Lister Park. I am incredibly proud to be the Principal of such a vibrant and progressive academy and fell privileged to serve the local community and our wonderful families who live here. The ethos of our Academy is a clear one: to enable all our students to thrive and progress through the nurture, care and guidance we give them. At Oasis Academy Lister Park, every child really does matter and we work hard to ensure that all is done in our student’s best interests – whether that be providing a curriculum matched to their individual abilities and interest, or ensuring their progression to the most appropriate pathway once they finish their qualifications with us. We pride ourselves on providing a nurturing environment that also challenges students to achieve the highest academic standards. We provide a positive, supportive and well-disciplined environment which enables all students to fulfil their potential and achieve success in all aspects of school life. We want our students to leave with the skills to adapt, flourish and make the most of every opportunity regardless of the challenges they face in an ever changing world. We are fully committed to the highest possible standards of care and guidance which will develop our students in to open-minded, flexible and resilient young people ambitious to succeed and make a positive contribution to society. Ofsted recognises the Academy as being good in all areas where ‘pupils’ personal development and welfare are of paramount importance. The school is a caring and thoughtful community in which pupils demonstrate compassion for others. Student’s own attitudes, alongside the quality teaching provided by our staff leads to them to doing so well. We also know that to achieve our aims, being part of a strong multi-academy trust is essential. Oasis Community Learning is committed to professional excellence and provides first class strength and guidance to all staff at Oasis Academy Lister Park. Our positive partnership with Bradford Council also means we are able to work collaboratively with other local schools to provide exceptional education at the heart of our community. Strong effective relationships with our parents underpin the work we do and, working together, our students succeed. I look forward to receiving your application.

A message from our CEO A very warm welcome to Oasis Community Learning! I am delighted that you are interested in becoming part of Oasis Academy Arena. Oasis Community Learning was established as a Multi Academy Trust in 2004 with the vision to create: “Exceptional Education at the Heart of the Community”. We now run Academies in four main regions throughout the UK, providing either primary, secondary or all-through education. All our Academies are committed to providing a rich educational experience and ensuring that every child and young person has the opportunity to achieve at the highest level. Our ethos is integral to that provision: it is an expression of our character, a statement of who we are and therefore the lens through which we assess all we do. We are committed to a model of inclusion, equality, healthy relationships, hope and perseverance throughout all the aspects of the life and culture of each Academy community. We passionately embrace learning and are committed to every child within our care reaching their full potential and developing holistically across every area of their lives, both now and in the future. All of this is underpinned by our philosophy of education which highlights our focus on inspirational leadership, deep learning and healthy communities and aspires to develop the character and competence of every child of every community that we are part of. At Oasis Community Learning therefore, we believe we are all ‘the architects of our students’ lives’ and as such we are committed to laying the right foundations for every one of our young people. So we look forward to you potentially becoming part of Oasis. Best wishes, John Murphy A message from our Founder When I started Oasis, back in 1985, I had no idea it would grow into the wonderful family of charities that it has become today. We have not only become the country’s second largest provider of academy schools, educating around 25,000 children and young people, we also provide housing for vulnerable young people, and run everything from community farms to coffee houses and churches to children’s centres, and much more besides, in communities from Gateshead in the North East to Bristol in the South West. So, the question is…why? Not only do we believe a child should receive the very best formal education, but also that there is more to a healthy life and future than simply the knowledge they hold. Every one of us is a product of the community we live in. that’s why Oasis is passionate that every community one of our Academies is part of should be a happy, healthy place where every person is included, valued and is able to achieve their full God given potential and thrive. That’s why Oasis’ vision not only aims to deliver outstanding education, but also to help build great local neighbourhoods. We’re motivated by our core Christian ethos which means that we believe every person – those of all faiths or none – are equally valuable and have a part to contribute in helping this vision become a reality. Helping a young person realise who they are meant to be is about more than simply the qualifications they get or the job they want; it’s about how they see themselves and those around them. That’s why Oasis’ goal is to play its part in helping to create great communities where every young person achieves their best, respects themselves, values those around them and contributes to the good of all.
