Oasis Community Learning Building Community – Developing People When I was a teenager I used to attend a local church-based youth club at the weekends. There I learnt two important lessons in life. The first was that the 15year old girl that I started going there in an attempt to woo into becoming my girlfriend wasn’t the least bit interested. To her I was a non-entity – a mere 14-yearold! But the second was that I am made in the image of God and that as a result, my life, just like each life, has purpose and meaning. In short, I learnt that every person matters.

So it was that I became inspired to create ways to help build communities where everyone – both young and old – had hope, felt they mattered and were given the opportunity to achieve to their full potential. As a result, in 1985 I set up Oasis; a charity which now provides education, housing and healthcare around the world.

Oasis Community Learning, part of what was by then a family of Oasis charities, began its life in 2004 with the goal of developing a number of Academies across the UK. And, just like the rest of Oasis’ work around the world, right at its heart are the same values. Inspired by Christ, we are committed to valuing all, protecting rights to freedom and choice, working against discrimination and exclusion, respecting the beliefs of others and nurturing confident and competent young people.

That’s why Oasis Academy Hadley will provide a rich and balanced educational environment – academically, vocationally, socially, morally, spiritually, emotionally and environmentally for all our students.

That’s why we will aim to develop informed and active learners who can explore questions, seek answers and solve problems – students who will care passionately about their neighbour, their community and their planet.

That’s why, through high-quality facilities, outstanding staff and clear leadership, we will work to create a positive and affirming environment, encouraging partnerships between students, parents/carers and the wider local community.

That’s why Oasis Academy Hadley will provide a welcoming environment for students of all faiths and none, as well as for their parents and carers.

Oasis believes that every person matters.

Steve Chalke MBE - CEO, Oasis Community Learning

Oasis Academy Hadley Learning and Living in Harmony Welcome to Oasis Academy Hadley. We are an all-through Academy for children from 3 years to 18 years.

We have been very successful in the three years since we opened. In March 2012 the Ofsted Inspection judged the Academy to be good in all areas.

‘This is a good academy. The sixth form is also good. The academy has improved rapidly in the two and a half years since it opened. Staff and students all agree that it is a very different place from the predecessor school.’

‘Students across the academy now achieve well. GCSE examination results have improved dramatically.’

‘Children in Reception make particularly rapid progress.’

‘These improvements in achievement are mainly the result of better teaching: across the academy it is now typically good and sometimes outstanding.’

‘Students behave well around the site and in lessons. They are courteous, friendly and confident.’

The percentage of students achieving the best grades at both GCSE and A Level has risen significantly when compared to the results of the predecessor school.

This year 54% of students achieved 5+ A*- C grades including English and maths a 27% increase on the predecessor school. 88% of our Year 11 students achieved 5 good GCSE passes (A*-C) an increase of 48%. At A level we saw big improvements with the percentage of A*-B grades increasing to 30% giving the Academy an ALPS rating of excellent. Over 59% of our students have progressed to university with 23% at Russell Group universities following a wide range of courses including medicine, engineering, psychology and law.

Oasis Academy Hadley is currently situated on Bell Lane in North East Enfield and at the end of this year we will move to a new state-of-the-art building in Ponders End. We work closely with the Local Authority, local schools and other organisations for the good of all within the community.

Academies are new, publicly funded, all ability independent schools, introduced by the Government in 2000. As an Academy we have the freedom to deliver a learning experience which is innovative, challenging and responsive to the needs

Oasis Academy Hadley Learning and Living in Harmony of individuals. Students experience a curriculum which enables them to develop the skills and competences they need to support learning in different contexts, to build confidence and to secure qualifications at a suitable level.

As a member of the global organisation, Oasis, the Academy provides unique opportunities for our young people and our wider community. We benefit from working in partnership with, and learning from, schools across different continents as well as those locally and nationally.

At Oasis Academy Hadley we aim to treat all our students as individuals. We personalise learning to meet the needs of the individual. We make learning engaging and fun so that our students want to learn rather than have to learn. We have high expectations and want our students to have high aspirations. We want our students to be the best they can be.

Oasis Academy Hadley is an Academy for the whole community and a school for the 21st Century, preparing our young people for their future. We are guided by our mission - Learning and Living in Harmony - our values and our vision. If you wish to be part of this journey, we look forward to working with you.

Lynne Dawes - Principal, Oasis Academy Hadley

Our Values Every child matters We identify and develop the gifts, talents and interests of all our students. Our curriculum and extended opportunities enable all students to engage in their education. They enjoy learning and achieve success. We help them learn how to be healthy and stay safe. They make positive contributions to their Academy, their community and the wider world. They develop spiritual, social, physical, emotional and economic well-being. We value the achievements of all our students.

Education for all All members of our community are learners. Our students are educated for life.

Our staff are developed through teamwork, training and the opportunities that an innovative environment brings. The educational facilities are shared with local schools and local people. We provide lifelong education for the whole community.

It takes a whole village to educate a child This African saying reflects the importance of the whole community in educating our children. We employ first-class staff. Support goes beyond the classroom and beyond the Academy gate. Parents, carers and families of our students are expected to be involved in their education. Through our Mathematics with ICT and Music specialisms we engage local, national and international partners in the education of our students.

Love your neighbour Our work is motivated and inspired by the life, message and example of Christ. We recognise the richness that spiritual and cultural diversity brings to our community.

We respect the beliefs and practices of other faiths and provide a welcoming environment for students of all faiths and those with none. We recognise that we are stronger together and value collaboration. We develop an understanding and tolerance of each other through knowledge, mutual respect, believing the best of each other and forgiveness. Individual rights are respected and choice is exercised within a culture of self-discipline

The Hadley Way – Learning and Living in Harmony

Our Values

Aspire We will have the highest expectations of ourselves and others for both learning and behaviour

Achieve We will be the best we can be

Care We will consider others and make positive contributions to the Academy, and the local and global communities in which we live

Endeavour We will be resilient, enjoy a challenge and not give up easily

Community Living and Learning Togther Community Vision The vision of the Academy is to create both an outstanding school and a community hub. The aim is for the local community to be able to access adult learning programmes, healthy living advice and activities, sports facilities and out-of-hours youth activities.

Oasis believes that it has a duty to respect the environment through a commitment to sustainability and bio-diversity. Resources entrusted to Oasis Academy Hadley will be used with integrity and responsibility.

Our Specialism We aim to provide community activities through our specialisms of Mathematics with ICT and Music. These opportunities are developed gradually so they are of good quality and complement current opportunities.

Healthy Living There is an ethos of balanced and healthy lifestyles, demonstrated through policies regarding Academy meals. We support healthy living and health activities from the Academy and offer links to community activities such as nutrition and fitness clubs and social clubs.

The Extended Academy All Oasis Academies offer opportunities for extended learning beyond the core Academy day. Extended community use is part of the Oasis vision for the Academy. We aim to provide integrated care for all students. These services will be developed gradually as Oasis teams begin to develop programmes between the Academy and the local community.

Learning Pastoral Organisation All students and staff belong to one of six Learning Communities. Each Community is divided into 14 Learning Groups of no more than 18, supported by a Learning Guide. The Learning Guide gets to know the young person’s interests, skills and needs. They then work with the student and their parents/carers to personalise their learning, helping them choose the right courses and ensuring they develop the skills needed for effective learning.

The members of a Learning Group support and guide each other, sharing experiences and knowledge. We believe that students encouraging one another and offering peer support further motivates students to succeed.

In addition, the Learning Communities are used to develop student leadership, competitions, performances and enterprise activities.

Curriculum Pathways Based on a your GCSE grades there are 3 main routes, each organised to give you good choices to progress to the next level of study or work.

Pathway 1

If you achieve 5 A*-C GCSE grades (including at least one of English and Maths) or BTEC pass or above at level 2 this is the most appropriate route to access higher education. You will study for 3-4 AS levels or you may choose to mix A levels with a Level 3 BTEC if this matches your career ambitions.

Pathway 2

If you are expected to achieve 3-5 A*-C GCSE grades at GCSE or BTEC pass or above at level 2 this would be your best route into higher education or employment.

You will study BTEC level 3 Diploma (equivalent to 2 A levels), with the option of adding an A level subject and GCSE Maths or English if you have not already gained them at C or above.

Pathway 3

If you are expected to achieve 2-5 D-G grades at GCSE or BTEC pass or above at level 2 this would be the appropriate path for you. There are level 2 options that you can take to prepare you to move to level 3 at a later stage.

Whatever your chosen pathway, you will find the details of the courses available in the application pack.

To apply fill out our application form and return it to the Academy reception.

Additional forms are available from our web site.

Admissions Oasis Academy Hadley is a non-selective Academy open to students of all religious faiths and those of no faith.

If you are a parent/carer of a student currently in Year 6 and wish to apply for a place at Oasis Academy Hadley in Year 7 for September, you will need to complete the Common Application Form and return it to Enfield Council.

How places are allocated at Oasis Academy Hadley Where the number of applications for admission is greater than the published admission number, applications are considered against the criteria set out below.

After the admission of students with statements of Special Educational Needs where Oasis Academy Hadley is named on the statement, the criteria are applied in the order in which they are set out on the following page: 1. Children in Year 6 of Oasis Academy Hadley.

2. Children in public care; (looked after children) and children who were adopted (or subject to residence orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after.

3. Children for whom the Academy is appropriate on exceptional medical grounds.

Such applications will be considered under this criterion if they are supported by an attached written statement from a doctor. This must demonstrate that there is a very specific connection between the child’s medical or social need and the Academy. The OCL Board will make the decision related to such applications.

4. Children with a brother or sister (sibling), living at the same address, who will attend the Academy when the applicant would be admitted. The term “sibling” means a full, step, half, adopted or fostered brother or sister but not cousins. The Academy reserves the right to ask for proof of relationship.

5. Children whose parent is a member of staff who has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time of application and/or children of a member of staff who has been recruited to fill a vacancy for which there is demonstrable skill shortage.

Admissions 6. Children living nearest to the Academy. The distance used to determine how close the child lives to the Academy will be the direct line measurement from the front door of the permanent home address to the main entrance (South Street) to the Academy site. The child’s permanent home address is where he or she normally lives and sleeps and goes to school from. Proof of residence – such as a council tax bill or utility bill – can be requested at any time throughout the admissions process. If false or misleading information is used to gain entry to the Academy, the offer of a place will be withdrawn and the application cancelled.

If there are more applicants then there are places remaining within a particular category and where there is no difference in distance from home to Academy for two or more children, random allocation, carried out by a person or persons unconnected with the Academy, will be used to allocated the final available place(s) and to establish priority on the waiting list.

Post-16 admission criteria The Academy publishes specific criteria in relation to minimum academic entrance requirements for admission to the post-16 provision. These criteria are the same for internal and external transfers. Where the number of applications exceeds the number of post-16 places available applications will be considered against the criteria set out above.

Please note: There is an appeals process and all Oasis Academies follow the nationally agreed guidance for admissions appeals.

Dress Code Dress Code for boys • • • • •

Formal shirt with a collar Tie Smart trousers Formal leather type shoes in a plain colour Suits and blazers are optional

Dress Code for girls • • • • • •

Formal shirt or blouse (suitable for office wear) Smart trousers OR Smart skirt OR Smart dress Formal leather type shoes (with appropriate height heels) Suits and blazers are optional

Please note that for both boys and girls, jackets, blazers or suits are optional items.

Special Educational Needs The Academy’s aim is to ensure that all its students achieve their full potential, according to their needs. If a student has special educational needs (SEN), the Academy will take every reasonable step to identify and meet them. Further information on the policy and provision for SEN can be obtained from the Academy.

Students with SEN who do not have statements of special educational needs will be admitted on an equal basis with others in accordance with the Academy’s admissions policy.

Where a student has a statement and the Local Authority is proposing to name the Academy in the statement, the Academy will agree to the student’s admission.

The only reason for not doing so is if the inclusion of that student would be incompatible with the education of other children and there are no reasonable steps the Academy could take to resolve this. If there is a disagreement between the Academy and the Local Authority on the placement of a student, there is a voluntary dispute resolution service backed up by the Secretary of State’s power to intervene. In the last resort parents/carers can appeal to the SEN and Disability Tribunal.

Arrangements for students with disabilities For information on arrangements for students with disabilities, please refer to our inclusion and SEN policies which can be obtained from the Academy office. For information about specific facilities at the Academy please contact the Principal.

Complaints policy If a parent/carer wishes to make a complaint about their child’s welfare or education at the Academy, they should do so by following the procedure given in the Academy’s Parental Complaints Policy. A copy of this can be obtained by contacting the Academy office or looking on the website: www.oasisacademyhadley.org

AS Music

Exam Body

Edexcel The new Edexcel Advanced GCE Music course — simple in design but comprehensive — is intended to be stimulating and enriching for students and teachers alike.

Unit 1 Performing (30%): Perform a short recital by the end of the course, of a minimum grade 5 standard of length 5 to 6 minutes.

Unit 2 Composition (30%): This unit encourages students to develop their composition skills leading to the creation of a three-minute piece in response to a chosen brief. Students also write a CD sleeve note to describe aspects of their final composition and explain how other pieces of music have influenced it. This is worth 30% of the total AS marks.

Unit 3 Developing Musical Understanding (40%): This unit focuses on listening to familiar music and understanding how it works. In the third section, students use a score to identify harmonic and tonal features and then apply this knowledge in the completion of a short and simple passage for SATB. The full GCE course (AS plus A2) is excellent preparation for higher education courses in music, but is equally valuable for non- specialists as a second or third area of study. The AS units alone can offer a broad and satisfying experience for those who want to conclude their musical studies at this point.
