Oasis Academy Lord's Hill is an Academy situated in the city of Southampton, Hampshire and specialises in Arts. Oasis Academy Lord's Hill replaced Millbrook Community School and Oaklands Community School which both closed in August 2008.

History

The Academy opened in September 2008 in the buildings on the two sites of the closed schools, then moved to a new building in 2012. On merging, most students were White British heritage and the number speaking another language at home was low. About 60% of the school pupils were boys. Almost 50% of the students had special educational needs and/or disabilities but no statement. The majority had behavioural, emotional or social difficulties.

Description

Oasis Academy Lord's Hill is part of the Oasis Community Learning group, and evangelical Christian charity. The trust have guided forty schools out of special measures. 19 per cent of the 52 Oasis academies classified as failing. The trust's founder Reverend Steve Chalke says "Turning round a school is sometimes a quick fix, it really, truly is. And sometimes it’s a really long, hard, hard job".

Through its Horizons scheme it is providing each member of staff and student with a tablet. It is run by Oasis Community Learning (a foundation established by the Oasis Trust).

Admissions

The academy caters for around 700 students in the 11–16 age range, as of 2020.
