About us

Oasis Academy John Williams opened in September 2008 and is now two years old. Sponsored by Oasis Community Learning, Oasis Academy John Williams is part of a global community.

We aim to provide an excellent education for all of our students, and continue to go from strength to strength. This was recognised by Ofsted when they visited in January. The Academy was judged to be making "good progress" with a good capacity to continue to improve further.

The experience of every Oasis Academy John Williams' student is shaped by the "Oasis 3":

"Bristol 5 " - Every student, every year will access 5 unique enrichment opportunities around experiences linked to developing creativity, performance, exploration, independence and global awareness.

"Bristol 10" - the minimum standard we expect from students and staff in every lesson, every day.

"Bristol 20" - the expected rate of progress and achievement for every student during their time at the Academy regardless of their starting point

In September we opened the doors of our brand new building. As you would expect the facilities for our specialism of  Visual and Performing arts feature a fully equipped 200 seat theatre, professional standard dance and drama studios and an industry standard media suite. Across the curriculum facilities are superb, every classroom features the very latest ICT equipment; students will also enjoy excellent sports facilities including a community Fitness Centre and Sports Hall. We are looking forward to making the most of the many new opportunities our state of the art building provides.

We want every young person to thrive at our Academy. It is important to us that every student achieves their personal best, whatever their talents and ambitions. We expect much from our students in terms of personal standards, discipline and attitude; in return we offer students an environment where they feel safe, secure and valued. We know that our young people will face many challenges during their time at the Academy, and we believe that our pastoral system provides excellent 360 degrees of care, guidance and support.  

Our aim is simply to become the outstanding school our community deserves, which is also one of the very best Academies in the country. We strive to deliver an outstanding and relevant education for all, shaped by an exciting and relevant curriculum combined with excellent standards of teaching and learning. We want our students to enjoy learning, and leave the Academy equipped with the knowledge and skills to realise their talents and ambitions.  

We are proud of Oasis Academy John Williams, especially our students and their achievements. Visitors are welcome to tour the Academy at any time, any day of week, please contact me at your convenience to arrange an appointment.
