Oasis Academy Lord's Hill
Southampton, SO16 8FA · Southampton · secondary school
10th of 11 secondary schools in Southampton we can score, 12 in total — the rest without enough published data. 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 — 2.4/10 against 361 of them, against 1.2/10 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 | 1 | 35% | 0.02 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 31.0 · 19 | 30% | 0.57 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.91 · 4 | 25% | 0.10 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 37.0 · 10 | 10% | 0.10 |
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, 31.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 37.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.91 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Inadequate in July 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend the City Athletics Championships and trips to London, The Mayflower Theatre, Scotland, the New Forest, and Disneyland Paris. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 762 pupils in a capacity of 900, leaving 138 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to address the Inadequate Ofsted rating? What specific support is offered to raise Progress 8 scores? How are class sizes managed with 138 spare places?
