Oasis Academy Pinewood

Oasis Academy Pinewood is a larger-than-average primary school within the Oasis Community Learning trust. Following its July 2026 full inspection, the school is performing at the expected standard across achievement, behaviour and attendance, curriculum and teaching, early years, inclusion, leadership and governance, and personal development. Safeguarding standards are met, and pupils are described as enjoying school, feeling safe and benefiting from warm relationships and clear routines.

Strengths

• Pupils are calm, respectful and positive in lessons because of clear routines and strong relationships.
• Pupils feel safe; bullying is rare and concerns are handled promptly and fairly.
• Attendance is broadly in line with national averages, including for disadvantaged pupils.
• The curriculum is broad, ambitious and logically sequenced, using trust resources adapted by school leaders.
• Reading is a clear priority, with early phonics support and timely help for pupils who fall behind.
• Most pupils with SEND learn successfully alongside their peers and make positive progress from their starting points.
• Leaders use pupil premium funding thoughtfully to reduce barriers for disadvantaged pupils.
• Leadership is reflective and ambitious, with effective professional development and appropriate trust support.
• Personal development is coherent, including the '9 Habits', British values, clubs, visits and enrichment opportunities.
• Early years provision gives children a positive start through warm relationships, communication and language focus, and well-established routines.

Areas for Improvement

• Teaching is not equally effective in every class, so pupils do not always experience consistently high-quality teaching.
• Published phonics outcomes have been variable over the last three years, and the strengthened phonics programme is still embedding.
• Inclusive practice in the classroom varies across the school, so some groups do not consistently receive the same high-quality support.
• Participation in clubs and wider opportunities is not fully representative of all groups of pupils.
• Leaders need to provide more regular, structured opportunities for parents and carers to share their views.
• Handwriting teaching in early years is still being improved to secure consistent letter formation.

Admissions: local authority offers data from the Department for Education. A school is oversubscribed when at least 5% of the families who put it first were not offered a place, and undersubscribed when everyone who put it first got in but 10% or more of its places were unfilled in the Department's school capacity survey (the latest survey is used for entry years it does not cover). Places: Department for Education, School capacity, from local authorities' annual survey as at 1 May. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024–25); the survey was not run in 2020. Places include sixth form places. Forecasts are the local authority's own for the school's planning area, an area it uses to plan places that is not the school's catchment area. The forecast starts from a head count in 2025; the dashed line is the Department's estimate of places in that area, including those the authority has firm plans for. Planned places are cumulative, and only those with firm plans are counted.

In 2024–25 pupils at Oasis Academy Pinewood attended 94.2% of sessions (the national figure for primary schools was 94.8%). 14.1% of pupils were persistently absent, missing at least one session in ten (nationally 13.0%).

Sessions missed

Pupils persistently absent

Source: Department for Education, Pupil absence in schools in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Persistent absence means missing 10% or more of sessions; severe absence means 50% or more. No figures were published for 2019/20.

In 2024–25, 1.6% of pupils at Oasis Academy Pinewood were suspended at least once (nationally 1.1%). No pupils were permanently excluded.

Pupils suspended at least once

Source: Department for Education, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). A pupil can be suspended more than once, so suspensions per 100 pupils can be higher than the share of pupils suspended. Very small numbers are hidden by the DfE. Exclusion figures dropped in 2020 and 2021 because of school closures.

In 2025–26 Oasis Academy Pinewood had 27.0 pupils for each teacher (the national figure for primary schools was 20.7). Of its teachers in 2024–25, 35.0% were no longer at the school a year later (nationally 15.7%).

Pupils per teacher

Teachers who left the school within a year

Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.

In 2025–26, 21.0% of pupils at Oasis Academy Pinewood were on SEN support (nationally 15.4%) and 7.7% had an education, health and care (EHC) plan (nationally 4.1%).

Pupils by main type of need

Source: Department for Education, Special educational needs in England (the 2025–26 school census). SEN support is extra help in school without an EHC plan. National figures are for all state-funded primary schools. Counts are as published, with small numbers not hidden.

Academy figures include a share of the trust's central services, shared out by pupil numbers, and are rounded to the nearest £1,000. Premises costs were defined differently from 2024, so compare them across that gap with care.
