Access Project On Thursday 7th December we invited our students' parents and tutors to come to the Academy to find out more about The Access Project and how best to support their children on their journey to a selective university. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of the parents who were able to attend.

I’d like to take the opportunity to reflect on some of the students in each year group who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to the program.

Haydarcan Toguz in Year 10 has met 6 times with his tutor, Nadia, since they were matched on and has 100% attendance. His tutor

We now have 41 students enrolled on the program from years 10 to 13, the most since The Access Project has been running at Oasis Academy Hadley - which is fantastic! Since September, they have clocked up an impressive 80 tutorials (as of 24th November). has contacted me to say he has shown real commitment in each of his tutorials; always arriving prepared, with the correct resources and ready to learn. She described him as ‘articulate and bright and engaged’ - well done, Haydarcan!

I’d like to congratulate Sameer Faruquee in Year 12, who has been meeting with his tutor, Connor, for the past few weeks to be tutored in Economics. Sameer has 100% attendance and I’ve had some really positive feedback from his tutor keep up the hard work, Sameer!

Samiya Abdulkadir in Year 11 has already attended 10 maths tutorials this year, already half-way to our Access Project target of 20 tutorials accross the year which is simply amazing! She travels each week to Liverpool Street to meet her tutor at Bloomberg. Well done, Samiya for continuing to remain committed to the program whilst dealing with the pressures of Year 11.

Finally, our superstar of Year 13 is Melisa Cengiz, she has 90% attendance this year and has attended 30 tutorials since she was matched with Anna just over a year ago. She has just submitted an application to study International Relations at five, highly selective universities and I look forward to seeing her succeed on her journey to a top university - well done, Melisa!

Anti-Bullying

Year 5 recently went on an exciting trip to the Science Museum to explore the depths of space for Science and Design Technology, as we will be making rockets.

Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space from 1934-1968.

Patricia Buzura in University of Newcastle reports on the day:

Eugene Cernan was the last human to walk on the moon in 1872.

On Friday 17th November, my class and I got ready to go to the Science Museum in London.

We took the train from Ponder’s End to Tottenham Hale, then the underground to South Kensington.

Once we got to the museum we started exploring the space section of the museum.

From my visit I have found out a lot of new facts about space, such as: During exploring, we were looking for place to sit down and eat our lunch. After that we were heading back to school. That was a very fun trip!

Just 12 people walked on the moon.

Neil Armstrong along with Buzz Aidrin on 20th July 1969 were the first humans to walk on the moon.

David Scott in August 1971 took a piece of the moon’s surface which was made out of olivine basalt and part of an ancient lava flow.

Odd Socks Day! Recently the Academy took part Anti-bullying week (13th – 17th November) as a way to get involved, take a stand against bullying and raise awareness within Hadley.

Throughout the week students took part in various activities and workshops centring around the topic. Phase 1 held their very own

Steppaz The Key to Success

Global Radio Visit

On the 9th December, a number of our students from the performing arts academy, ‘Steppaz’ took part in ‘The Key to Success’, an exciting end-of-year dance and theatre showcase where they told the story of three sisters who share a passion for dance.

On Friday 24th November, the BTEC Music Technology students went to visit Global Radio in Leicester Square.

However, it is not long until disaster strikes and the girls are pulled apart, forcing them to decide where the key to success truly lies.

Global own some of the UK’s most popular radio stations including Capital, Capital Xtra, Heart, Radio X and LBC. The group went to visit a team from The Big Music Project who work with 14-25 year olds interested in a career in the creative industries. They had a very inspiring presentation about what it takes to work in the music business and about the skills and experience they will need to make it.

recorded a show for Radio X, this clip was then actually broadcast as part of his show that week and a clip from it was also shared on social media (which you can see on the Oasis Hadley insert link if you want).

The group were then taken on a tour of the radio stations and got to see behind the scenes, the highlight of which was being invited in to have a chat with Russel Brand and Noel Gallagher as they

This was a trip which we will all be remembering for a long time yet and has inspired the group to continue following their visions of working in the music industry.

Humanutopia Training

On the 3rd November, the year 9 Heroes received training from humanutopia.

To top it all off the group have been invited back to attend the Music Potential showcase at KoKo in Camden in May as an extra reward!

They came together to share their experiences on growing up and what they could do to help those younger in the academy get the most out of their life. The students had the most fantastic morning with Stevie and Sacha, and were joined by our year 5 students in the afternoon to practice their training.

Some of the comment from our students:

Ibrahim Safiya

“I want to be a hero because I enjoy helping and want to do more than I already do”.

Deniz

“I want to be a hero because some people aren’t that confident, and neither am I. I feel that I can help some people to be more confident though so they don’t have to be as shy as I am as they grow up”.

“I want to help others expand their dreams and take every opportunity presented to them”.

Loujane

“I want to help others have a different outlook on like and take every moment as it comes”.

Although nearly 3 hours long and with some challenging language and ideas, the play was utterly engaging and pacey and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

This was a great visit and hope to have many more next year!

Dreams do Come True!

Joel Idemudia (now Ekperigin) has hit the big time! After years of studying Dance at Oasis Academy Hadley and going on to join Wilkes Academy, Joel was successful in an audition to become a professional and full time Dancer in London’s West End production of ‘Thriller Live’.

Joel said “I am absolutely loving being a professional dancer, it is hard work but well worth it. I would like to thank Oasis Academy Hadley, especially Mrs Waterton, as well as the staff at Wilkes Academy who gave me the skills and

determination I needed to be successful”.

Although Joel has a very busy schedule he has asked to teach some workshops at OAH to give something back after all the help and support he received here. Mrs Waterton went to see Joel perform over the half term and said “he was absolutely amazing, I’m so proud of him!”. From all of us at OAH we would like to say, “Well done Joel!”

We are so proud of you!

Cake Sale for Rohingya Over a duration of 3 days, students and staff of Hadley put their hands in their pockets to raise money for the Rohingya appeal supporting and providing help to vulnerable families fleeing violence in Myanmar in Bangladesh.

Each community was challenged to make the most money for the cause, and so worked hard with their peers during their breaktime to sell as many cakes and baked goods as possible.
