This school will lay the foundations for life by offering a positive, rich learning journey for our school community. It will be characterised by high standards in literacy and numeracy, offering a rich, broad and balanced curriculum leading to GCSE or similar outcomes.

Our Year 7s and Year 8's are offered a broad and varied curriculum, underpinned by Opening Minds Competencies. This will enable learners to become independent, critical thinkers.  During Year 7 learners will have access to specialist subject areas.

When they enter year 9 and beyond, learners will follow a typical mainstream equivalent timetable.

Our Post 16 Study Programmes provide support for sixth form learners moving towards further education, training or employment.

This will be carried out in a happy, safe, secure and supportive atmosphere.

Oastlers is a fully inclusive school where all will be treated equally and given equality of opportunity regardless of gender, special needs, disability or race.
