The school educates children of [[Primary school|primary]] and [[secondary school]] age, and also has a [[sixth form]]. It is based on three sites: Shirley Road, Long Lane, Stroud Green. Originally two schools, Ashburton Secondary Modern Boys and Ashburton Secondary Modern Girls, which merged in 1971 to become Ashburton High School. At a later date, the school became Ashburton Community School and became an [[Academy (English school)|Academy]] in 2009 and was renamed '''Oasis Academy Shirley Park'''. The school is sponsored by the [[Oasis Trust]]. The academy has a partnership with local [[Premier League|English Premier League]]-club [[Crystal Palace F.C.|Crystal Palace]] dating back to the former Community School. Former [[Shrewsbury Town F.C.|Shrewsbury Town]] winger [[Austin Berkley]] teaches at the Academy. ==Description== Oasis Academy Shirley Park is part of the [[Oasis Community Learning]] group, and evangelical Christian charity.<ref>{{EW charity|1109288|Oasis Community Learning}}</ref> The trust have guided forty schools out of special measures. 19 per cent of the 52 Oasis academies classified as failing.<ref name="Vision">{{cite web |title=Oasis leader on his vision for country's first secure school |url=https://schoolsweek.co.uk/oasis-founder-steve-chalke-england-first-secure-school-will-look/ |website=Schools Week |access-date=5 February 2021 |date=5 July 2019}}</ref> The trust's founder Reverend [[Steve Chalke]] says "Turning round a school is sometimes a quick fix, it really, truly is".<ref name="Vision"/> Oasis Academy Shirley Park was judged an outstanding school in 2013 and again in 2018 it was a good school but with potential to speedily become outstanding again.<ref name="Ofsted 2018">{{cite web |title=Ofsted Section 5 Report 2018 |url=https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50085618 |website=ofsted.gov.uk |access-date=19 February 2021}}</ref> ===Curriculum=== Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the [[National Curriculum for England|National Curriculum]], and there success is judged on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'.<ref name="Roberts">{{cite web |last1=Roberts |first1=Nerys |title=The school curriculum in England Parliamentary Briefing Paper |url=https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN06798/SN06798.pdf |website=parliament.uk |accessdate=6 July 2020}}</ref> Schools endeavour to get all students to achieve the [[English Baccalaureate]](EBACC) qualification- this must include core subjects a modern or ancient foreign language, and either History or Geography. The academy operates a three-year, [[Key Stage 3]] where all the core National Curriculum subjects are taught. This is a transition period from primary to secondary education, that builds on the skills, knowledge and understanding gained at primary school, and introduces youngsters who are starting from a lower than average base to wider, robust and challenging programmes of study needed to gain qualifications at [[Key Stage 4]]. At Key Stage 4 the focus is on the EBACC, and there are daily Maths, English and Science lessons- plus some options. Spanish is the taught Modern Language. <ref name="Our Curriculum">{{cite web |title=Our Curriculum - |url=https://www.oasisacademyshirleypark.org/curriculum/curriculum-overviewnew-page |website=www.oasisacademyshirleypark.org |access-date=19 February 2021}}</ref> ===EYFS Key Stage 1 Key Stage 2=== This is an all through school where the [[Early Years Foundation Stage]] (EYFS) provides stimulating environments where 3yr and 4yr olds can play, explore, experiment, develop confidence, be curiosity to learn through play.
