Oasis Academy Coulsdon
Croydon, CR5 1ES · Croydon · secondary school
11th of 23 secondary schools in Croydon we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.4/10 against 843 of them, against 5.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 51.6 · 68 | 30% | 2.04 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.15 · 38 | 25% | 0.96 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.8 · 45 | 10% | 0.45 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 51.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.8, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.15 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Drama, Science & Environment, Craft, and Rotary Clubs, or the Academy choir. Sports include football, basketball, netball, cross country, rugby, and fitness sessions. Arts activities feature music lessons, Oasis Got Talent, and an Arts Showcase. Trips include a football tour to Spain, a day trip to Boulogne, a residential trip, West End Productions, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Getting in. The school has 934 pupils in a capacity of 930 places, meaning it is over capacity by 4. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 4-place overage in daily operations? What support is available for pupils who need to catch up on progress? How are places allocated when demand exceeds the 930 available spots?
