Oasis Academy Marksbury Road
Bedminster, BS3 5JL · Bristol, City of · primary school
3rd of 90 primary schools in Bristol, City of we can score, 102 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 — 8.7/10 against 1,879 of them, against 7.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Get to know the school

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Sewing and Embroidery, Hama Beads, Summer Crafts & Drawing, Disney Drama, Language, Disney Dance, and Gardening clubs. Sports include Football, Dodgeball, Tennis, Rounders, Netball, and Fitness and Boxercise. Arts and music options are Choir and Painting. There is an after-school club, but no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 373 pupils in a capacity of 390, leaving 17 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With 17 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list if demand exceeds capacity? Since there is no breakfast club, what support is available for families who need early morning care? How does the school maintain its Outstanding rating while managing a pupil population close to its maximum limit?
