Are you an ambitious and driven leader who strives to make a difference? Do you have a passion to transform the lives of students and have a positive impact on the local community? This is a rare opportunity for an exceptional leader and accomplished practitioner who has the passion, drive, and commitment to deliver inspirational leadership to an experienced staff team across the academy. We are looking for you to be innovative, highly flexible and show initiative with high levels of emotional intelligence and personal resilience, whilst harnessing the ability to be adaptable and agile in a dynamic environment and lead the academy during this exciting period of growth.

Oasis Academy Silvertown is a 'Good' Academy serving 11–16-year-olds in the heart of the Royal Docks, London. We are a co-educational, inclusive secondary school dedicated to transforming lives and learning.

Growth and development

Currently the Academy has nearly 500 students on roll but now in its permanent building it will grow to 600. Students are able to flourish in an environment where lessons can be personalised to ensure that all abilities are catered for including supporting students who have the greatest developmental needs and challenging and extending those whose learning is developing at pace. Staff benefit from strong CPD and use a variety of teaching techniques to make sure that every student has the best start to their educational journey.

OCL is committed to making a difference to the lives of the communities it works in, and as such you must show a willingness to demonstrate commitment to the values which flow from the Oasis ethos. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment and to undergo appropriate checks, including enhanced DBS checks.
