50th of 56 primary schools in Lambeth we can score, 58 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 — 3.3/10 against 1,401 of them, against 2.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Overview
This ungraded inspection confirms that Oasis Academy Johanna has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The school is described as a “small and friendly” community with an “inclusive ethos,” where pupils feel safe and attend well. Leaders have successfully managed a period of change, ensuring the school retains the resources and support needed to provide a good standard of education.
Strengths

- Staff have “positive” relationships with pupils and families, contributing to “good levels of pupil attendance.”
- The curriculum is “broad, rich and ambitious,” with effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Pupils develop their character through opportunities to learn about “British values,” democracy, and online safety.
Areas to improve
- Staff must precisely identify and prioritise key content in the new curriculum to prevent pupils from becoming overwhelmed and to ensure knowledge is secure.
- The new phonics programme requires consistent delivery and more planned opportunities for early readers to “practise and rehearse” what they have learnt.
- Teachers need to consistently reinforce behaviour expectations to establish routines and prevent disruption to learning.
