    Frequently Asked Questions

    Below are a list of frequently asked questions about this Academy and Academies in general.

    If you cannot find an answer to your question within the website or on this page please submit your question using the submit function at the bottom of this page.

    • Why was the name 'Oasis Academy Hadley' chosen?

      'Oasis' is used to show that the Academy is part of the family of Oasis Academies across England.'Hadley' originates from John Hadley (1682-1744), an acclaimed English Mathematician. John Hadley was born in Enfield, and lived much of his life there. He was the inventor of the octant which became the base upon which the sextant was invented. The sextant was used by Sailors to navigate their ships. John Hadley was so much acclaimed by his peers, that he was elected Vice-President of the Royal Society of London in 1728. Not only do we feel this emphasises the Maths specialism of the Academy, but also Enfield.

    • How would the Academy improve education for the students?

      The Oasis Academy would build on the achievements of the predecessor school but becoming an Academy allows more opportunities for new ideas and improved facilities that would help to raise standards.

    • How would students’ education be affected?

      The transition to a new Academy would be planned carefully to ensure that all students continued to receive the highest quality of education without unnecessary disruption. We already have successful experience of doing this in our open Academies.

    • What does the uniform for the academy consist of for both boys and girls?

      You can see some pictures of young people wearing the uniform throughout this website. To read a full list of uniform items go the Academy Life page. Please contact the Academy for further information on where to purchase uniform items.

    • Would the uniform change?

      Yes. There will be a new uniform for the Academy when it opens in September 2009. Oasis Community Learning worked with the student council to plan the new uniform and consulted students and parents/carers about our plans. Where items of uniform have to be replaced there would be financial help so parents/carers would not be out of pocket.

    Aye mate! And welcome to limbo! Problem: I have no idea what page you're trying to work on. You need to define a body ID in the template, then turn on the necessary rows and columns in layout.css. Arrrrgh!
