Students can wear black shorts or black tracksuit bottoms, but they must be predominantly black. Students must also wear a white t-shirt or polo shirt. As long as it is white (NOT a white football shirt) then it is permissible NOT to wear the Oasis white polo shirt. Trainers MUST be worn for every lesson. Students may also wear their OASIS rugby top if they wish.
The fitness suite is not available for community use at present but will be available when the new academy opens in September 2010.
Academies are all-ability schools serving local communities and working in partnership with the Department for Education, Local Authority, local businesses, other schools and other local stakeholders.
As of September 2010 there will be 12 Oasis Academies; two in NE Lincolnshire (Immingham and Wintringham), two in Southampton (Lord’s Hill and Mayfield), two in Bristol (Brightstowe and John Williams), two in Croydon (Coulsdon and Shirley Park), two in Greater Manchester (MediaCityUK and Oldham) and two in Enfield (Hadley and Enfield).
Further details can be found on the Our Academies page.
The Department for Education meets the capital and running costs for an Academy in full, as a part of an overall strategy to raise standards beyond the improvements already made by the predecessor school. Once up and running Academies receive equivalent funding to other secondary schools in the same area.
Aye mate! And welcome to limbo! Problem: I have no idea what page you're trying to work on. You need to define a body ID in the template, then turn on the necessary rows and columns in layout.css. Arrrrgh!
