Oasis Academy Southbank will form a bridge between the successful multi-national Southbank employers and the local Waterloo community.
The Vision
Waterloo is an important centre for the UKs arts and media industry, as well as being an internationally significant location for higher education, various global businesses, healthcare and tourism. Its just a stones throw from the seat of UK government and a near neighbour to Londons financial district. Yet, too much of this wealth bypasses the local community altogether. Oasis goal is to create a world class secondary educational environment which harnesses the richness of the surrounding area for the benefit of our local children. We believe that this will also help create a much needed, stronger sense of community for young people here in Waterloo. There is a specific need in the Waterloo area for a new, small, co-educational secondary school; a school to and from which local children can travel safely by foot instead of taking tube or bus rides; a school where each student is known and where the relationships that they have built through their years of primary education can be maintained. We believe that meeting these needs will play a vital role in ensuring that every local young person has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Currently, there is no local secondary school serving our community. As a result our children are scattered across a large number of schools in several boroughs when they leave primary school. Lambeth Councils report on School Demand and Primary Expansion (presented to Cabinet on 12th December 2011) is clear, explaining; The overall population projections for Lambeth suggest that, in spite of the difficulty in accurate forecasting, the dramatic increase in primary place demand will continue, with the shortage spreading to secondary places around 2015/2016. We want to plan ahead to ensure children living in Waterloo are not disadvantaged by the demand on secondary school places from the rest of the borough. Local parents should not have to compete for the remaining places which are often a significant distant from their homes. Its time to invest in Waterloo and in the future of our children and young people. Oasis already works in partnership alongside other local agencies such as WaCoCo, Waterloo Quarter BID, the Southbank Employers Group, Coin Street Community Builders, St. Thomas Hospital, The Old Vic Theatre and Morley College. Building on the strength of these existing relationships we will create an excellent secondary school and help to build a strong sense of pride for our whole community.

Admissions
The PAN (Published Admission Number) for 2013-14 is 120 Year 7 pupils. A copy of the admissions policy is available on request or to download from our website. In the event of the school being oversubscribed, the following oversubscription criteria will apply: 1. Looked After Children or Previously Looked After Children as defined in section 22 (1) of the Children Act 1989. 2. Siblings - we will prioritise twins or children from other multiple births under the sibling criteria and would increase our published PAN to accommodate this need. 3. Children with exceptional medical or social needs as defined by a suitably qualified and experienced panel convened to consider such cases. Evidence in the form of a doctor or social workers letter will be required. 4. Distance - as measured by a straight line between the childs home and the permanent site of the school. This measurement will be done by a computerised mapping system, from a point in the childs home as identified by the software to a point at the school as profiled in the software. The childs home address will be considered to be where the child spends the majority of the school week.
The Site
Currently several local options are being actively explored and we hope to make an announcement shortly regarding the final location of the new school. The Department for Education has submitted a change of use application on Hercules House, Hercules Road SE1, with the intention that this will become the permanent site for the school. The Academy will be in temporary accommodation for up to one year. We are continuing to work with the Department for Education to fully explore a number of other locations for the Academys permanent site.
