Oasis Academy
Oldham, UK
Project overview
Bringing together the community to create an exemplary secondary school
Oasis Academy brings together students from both the former South Chadderton and Kaskenmoor Schools, accommodating their learning needs now and into the future.
The extended secondary school accommodates for 1,500 students and is part of the Oasis Community Hub which provides multiple services ensuring that the school and community work hand in hand.
Teachers and students can experience outdoor learning with areas designed to catch the sunlight at various times of day creating encouraging and appealing spaces. The bright, airy atrium maximises daylight, accomplishing an inviting learning environment.
The community can engage with the students learning with views deep into the building through double height spaces. The school is a stunning attribute to the surrounding landscape and communities.
The building provides an excellent learning environment giving a real sense of pride and excitement to both students and staff.”
