About Oasis Academy Fir Vale
Oasis Academy Fir Vale - a community gathered together to grow and learn
Oasis Academy Fir Vale opened in September 2014 as a brand new purpose built academy in the centre of the vibrant Fir Vale community in Sheffield. When full, the academy will be a two form entry Primary School with 52 part time places available in Nursery. Currently there are approximately 300 children on roll across all year groups. The academy will expand year on year until full at 420 places.
Oasis Academy Fir Vale will be based in an area of Sheffield that has some of the highest levels of childhood poverty in the city and where free school meals average 34%. Other Primary schools in the area experience around 30% turnover in pupils each year. Around one fifth of residents are black or minority ethnic and there is a significantly high proportion of Roma Slovak families in the area. Currently approximately 79% of pupils attending the Academy are Roma.
The vision for the Academy is to be an inclusive school where every child is given the best possible opportunities in order to reach their full potential. The Academy serves the whole community and has an ethos based on the belief that all pupils, regardless of background or ability have a sense of aspiration, self-belief, justice and respect for community and one another. The development of an Academy hub is seen as a priority. This will offer a variety of support to families and members of the local community.
Oasis Academy Fir Vale is part of the Oasis Community Learning family, a family of Academies established in 2004 with the express purpose of transforming learning, lives and communities through the development of Oasis Academies. Currently there are 44 Academies in the Oasis family across primary, secondary and post 16 phases.
