About the Academy
Oasis Academy Arena was opened as part of London’s Olympic Legacy in 2015, and is dedicated to helping young people within Croydon reach their potential. The Academy boasts state-of-the-art learning facilities within our brand new purpose-built building and close proximity to world-class sporting facilities and National Rail, Overground and Tramlines. With only year 7 students currently residing within the Academy, this is a fantastic opportunity to grow with the school and help shape it into the community-focussed educational environment we hope it to be. Forecast admissions are encouraging as we have had almost double our capacity in applications for 2016, and expect to reach 900 students by 2019.
