Oasis Academy Foundry

School overview

Oasis Academy Foundry is a primary school serving Birmingham, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. It has 221 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. At its most recent graded inspection, Ofsted rated Oasis Academy Foundry 'Outstanding'. 62% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 7.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 44% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 103 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 10% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Oasis Academy Foundry is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 32 first choices for 30 places. Overall pupil absence was 7.4%. There are about 18.9 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 74% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
