GCSE Results Day 2024 at Oasis Southbank was one to remember! Spectacular outcomes across the board! Headlines up on last year to 61% 5+ and 78% 4+ English and Maths, reflecting the phenomenal work from students and their teachers! We are so so proud! 💙

Yesterday was my final day @OasisSouthBank after two incredible years. I am ridiculously fortunate to have taught there, and to have been part of such an electrifying community that positively impacts students' lives EVERY day. They are heroes. #music

[Oasis Academy South Bank @OasisSouthBank]

We are absolutely delighted to be able to share an OUTSTANDING judgement from our recent Ofsted visit! ✨
Thank you to our brilliant staff, students and families for making OASB the special place it is.💙

Our Year 11s @OasisSouthBank were buzzing after GCSE Music yesterday! They've worked so hard whilst performing in countless school events over the last two years 👏. Huge thanks to @Gareth_Drums and @SheridanLloyd for their epic support of these outstanding young people #music

So disappointed #Merky #MerkyFC @stormzy
cancelled our school football semi-final fixture vs Elms Academy without telling us. I thought this was meant to be a venue for the community? Our Year 7-8 Boys were devastated. We don't have a mini-bus and it took us an hour to get there.

@ErrollynWallen @OasisSouthBank @LPOrchestra @southbankcentre @HansZimmer Mighty River - one of our students actually played timpani in a performance of it as part of a London Schools Symphony Orchestra concert in April! Such a beautiful piece.

[Alex Stobbs @AlexStobbs]

Our students @OasisSouthBank cannot WAIT for the Brightsparks Concert with @LPOrchestra @southbankcentre this morning - Barry, Beethoven, Copland, Mozart, Howard Shore, @ErrollynWallen, and @hanszimmer. HUGE names. #film #classical #romantic #orchestra #music

“Music also brings joy in ways other parts of the curriculum don’t,” he said. “I wasn’t jumping for joy for a physics lesson.” 👏👏👏 https://t.co/vHOwf2iTEi

🎵Great to see so many smiles @OasisSouthBank after the GCSE Music exam! Pupils are working phenomenally hard during this relentless heat 👏

One of the most important papers I've ever read on SEND. Beautifully written too. Strongly recommend.

Today @UK_Music and the cross-party APPG on Music are launching a new report on the impact of Brexit on touring musicians and crew.🧑‍🎤

“Let The Music Move – A New Deal for Touring” makes for depressing but important reading.
