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

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.

Hallelujah, it’s school concert season. A music researcher explains why these performances are so...

While we want to support our loved ones’ extracurricular activities, perhaps you secretly curse sitting through yet another concert or carols sing-along.

Do you know many people who publicly support Putin, who continue to praise and love him even now? Who stay loyal to Putin even after the massacres in Bucha and Irpin, after mass civilian killings and rapes? It's incomprehensible, right?
