Oasis Academy Shirley Park
Croydon, CR9 7AL · Croydon · secondary school
17th 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 — 5.6/10 against 302 of them, against 3.2/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 32.3 · 22 | 46% | 1.00 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.07 · 45 | 38% | 1.73 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 42.6 · 33 | 15% | 0.50 |
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, 32.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 42.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.07 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than similar pupils nationally. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Chess, Film and Media, Gardening, Homework Clubs, and Movies in the Main Hall. Sports include Climbing and Kayaking, while arts cover Musical and Dance. Trips visit the Science Museum, PGL, universities, and Jamie’s Farm. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1659 pupils in a capacity of 1955, leaving 296 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 support pupils with a Progress 8 score below 0? What specific support is available for students aiming to raise their Attainment 8 above the national median? How does the after-school club structure its sessions?
