About the Academy
Oasis Academy Lord's Hill is a rapidly growing Secondary school, serving children aged 11-16 in Lordshill, Millbrook and the surrounding communities of Southampton. Currently graded as Requires Improvement for the quality of education by OFSTED in February 2020 the Academy needs to be visited to see its potential. The current new leadership team and staff have provided an excellent set of foundations for the right candidate to accelerate further the progress made to date. The Academy serves an area of deprivation within Southampton and is the centre of its community. The intake of the Academy has changed significantly in recent years, children are well motivated and arrive with attainment which is in line with the national average and they are well supported by a committed group of staff. The Academy benefits from the support mechanism of the Trust which provides a bespoke curriculum, behavior and pedagogical approach, freeing teachers to teach and leaders to lead.
A unique feature of the Academy will see the successful candidate line manage an OFSTED ‘good’ preschool which is located within a mile of the Academy, whilst joining a highly successful community Hub which includes the Oasis Southampton City Farm.

Oasis Academy Lord’s Hill opened in 2008 as part of the initial Academy programme. Since we have been open we have seen significant improvements in achievement, progress and attendance. Academic achievement has markedly improved for all students regardless of their needs or starting positions. In fact analysis of our data by prior attainment (low, middle and high) shows that we outperform most schools nationally. We have also seen a huge improvement in student attendance. This is a good indicator, because if students want to be at school they attend regularly.
We have a brand new building which offers our students outstanding learning opportunities. We are very fortunate to have these facilities and we are committed to making the most of them both for our students and the wider community.
The ethos of the Academy cannot simply be summed up by our new building, our improved results and better attendance. The heart and soul of Lord’s Hill can be summed up in our core values which are essential to every member of staff and are the essence of who we are.
Core values:
- A passion to include everyone
- A desire to treat everyone equally, respecting differences
- A commitment to healthy and open relationships
- A deep sense of hope that things can change and be transformed
- A sense of perseverance to keep going for the long haul
As an Academy we are dreaming, planning and acting to ensure that Oasis Academy Lord’s Hill becomes an outstanding learning community. This is our aim, not for the praise of politicians or specialists, nor to lord it over others. We follow our aim because this community deserves it. We do it because it is the right thing to do.
If you feel that you too can make a difference to our students’ future we’d love to hear from you.
