Our academy
Oasis Academy Silvertown was planned and founded by the West Silvertown community who dreamed of having a local school which ensured both academic excellence as well as nurturing care for local children. After many years of discussions, plans and applications to the Department for Education, the academy opened in September 2014 in portacabins and finally moved into its permanent home in September 2022.
Our academy vision is to ensure that all our students become ‘Ready for University, Ready to Lead'. We hold tightly to the original dreams that the community had for our school, creating an environment where we have high academic aspirations for every student as well as ensuring we support and develop each child into growing and developing as a leader. Our small size means that every child is known by our staff and that we have a strong community feel where children want to learn and to behave well.
