Information for New Starters, Monday 2nd July

For Monday starters, we need to let you know that we provide tea, coffee and milk here at Keys Meadow, but a small, partially-working fridge means that we can only store ready-made lunch items – not individual ingredients.

For parking, we suggest that you make use of the dedicated area in the centre of Innova Park and walk the short distance over – past the new buildings.

Our July “Academy Day” starts at 8.30am and finishes at 4.30pm.

Dress code is how you would normally be attired for the school day in September.

Please note that all staff will be engaged in a team development day at Lea Valley Park on Wednesday 11th July. Part of this day will involve us doing conservation work around the riverbanks and we are advised by the park rangers that you should check that your tetanus inoculations are up-to-date.

Supporting New Colleagues

We look forward to welcoming Anita, Jenny, Bola, Matthew and Judy on Monday. They will have a full programme of work in the next 3 weeks primarily concerned with a) understanding the Oasis Academy ethos with its implications for day-to-day issues and b) feeling equipped to hit the ground running in September.

Very high on our list of priorities is the manner in which we support our colleagues who will join later down the line. We are putting together a programme of regular updates, phone calls, blog updates and face-to-face drop-in meetings to give you every chance to be ready to start work at the start of term.

Oasis Development Blog

Rather than send out news via Friday e-mail newsletters, we will now be posting news about the development of the Academy via this blog.

This format will be a lot more flexible that the current email method and allows you to make comments on posts, respond to mini-polls and means that it is easier for us to update on a daily basis. Please check this site on a daily basis as from Monday 2nd July.
