Check the area around this school
16th of 20 secondary schools in Newham we can score, 21 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 — 6.8/10 against 313 of them, against 4.3/10 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% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 52.4 · 68 | 30% | 2.03 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.78 · 6 | 25% | 0.15 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 47.6 · 58 | 10% | 0.58 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Oasis Academy Silvertown
Overview
Oasis Academy Silvertown continues to be a good school, where leaders maintain high expectations and pupils strive to embody values such as being “proud, professional, nice, independent and resilient.” Learning is central to school life, with teachers presenting subject matter clearly to help all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, build knowledge effectively. The environment is calm and orderly, with bullying being rare and swiftly addressed, ensuring pupils feel safe and enjoy their time at school.
Strengths
- Teachers possess secure subject knowledge and break down new information clearly, providing regular opportunities for pupils to memorise learning before moving on.
- Consistent checking of pupil understanding allows teachers to identify and address misconceptions, reinforcing knowledge and deepening understanding.
- Reading support is well established from Year 7, helping pupils build fluency quickly and access the curriculum through whole-class and individual initiatives.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported, accessing the same curriculum as their peers with identified needs met effectively.
- A large programme of enrichment activities broadens pupils’ experiences, including music, sports clubs, and impartial careers advice from employers.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, curriculum thinking is not as advanced, limiting the depth of pupils’ learning as disciplinary knowledge is not as prominent as it should be.
- Leaders should ensure that the high-quality curriculum design evident in many subjects is present across all subjects to ensure pupils deepen their knowledge over time.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where leaders and staff are aware of specific local risks and provide swift, appropriate help to pupils at risk.
