Students at Oasis Academy Mayfield study all the National Curriculum core subjects. As an independent school we employ innovative approaches to Teaching and Learning.
Our goal is to create an environment where students 'want' to learn rather than 'have' to learn. State of the art computing facilities enhance teaching in the classroom and facilitate independent learning by students in Academy study areas.
Personalised Teaching and Learning plans include continued monitoring and analysis of the educational needs of young people which in turn leads to increased achievement; and positive inclusion of children with disabilities and learning difficulties.
The Academy will develop with keen regard to the rapidly changing diversity of cultures and needs within Southampton both now and in the future. By listening to the voices of young people, staff and families, we can ensure that provision is appropriate.
An expectation of high standards in academic and vocational studies guides our Academies programme and adds value to the achievement, attainment and skills of students in numeracy, literacy and other core areas. We are committed to improving the life-chances of all young people, refusing to accept that some should be excluded from the main curriculum and opportunities accessed by the wider Academy population. Raising the quality of teaching and learning to that of the best will be a high priority, which will encompass a clear and focused agenda of assessment for learning.
The Academy will create a learning environment where the skills, abilities and characters of individual students are developed and enhanced, recognising not only that every child is unique, but also that every child matters.
Our role is to develop a broad and balanced curriculum that enables students to enjoy their learning, encourages and widens their aspirations, and enhances their opportunities to succeed.
The promotion of positive attitudes, mutual respect and an appreciation of the need to be responsible citizens both within the Academy (community) and beyond into the local community is of paramount importance to instil in each student the value of social responsibility.
The Academy is located now solely on the site at The Grove. The KS4 site on Porchester Road is no longer opperational and has been signed back over to Southampton City Council. This means that both staff and resources are all now on one site and awaiting the grand opening on the very much awaited Academy. Information on the new Academy can be found on the hoempage.
Learning mentors and teaching assistants have been maintained to provide focussed support for the individual. The introduction of a Managed Learning Environment not only supports students but also facilitates communication to and from parents.
The strong, existing links with FE partners across the city will be built upon and developed to ensure that students have access to a wide variety of choice at KS4.
The Academy will work alongside other secondary partners within the Secondary Partnership as the 14- 19 agenda embraces the diplomas. Key senior personnel will be deployed to participate in and contribute to the city’s 14-19 implementation working groups. Timetable structures and curriculum choices at both KS3 and KS4 have been designed to support the role of the specialism within the 14-19 agenda.
The wellbeing and personal development of all will be a high priority as is evidenced by the creation of a specific Well Being Learning Zone.
To motivate and encourage of students Oasis Academy Mayfield use an online reward scheme called: VIVO
Students are encouraged to perform to the best of their ability at everything that they do. Students are rewarded 'Vivos' for completing excellent classwork or homework, taking part in extra curricular activities, for 100% attendance per week, for helping fellow students or staff. To find out how students are awarded Vivos please download our Tarrif: Vivo Tarrif
Students are then free to save or spend their Vivos online at: www.vivomiles.com
Parents can also login and view how their child is doing and encourage them by making a 'Pledge' online. If you would like more information on Vivo or how well your child is doing please email: Community@oasismayfield.org
