Please note that the admissions arrangements for the 2025-2026 school year will follow the current arrangements for Oasis Academy Benson. We are unable to make changes to admissions for 2025-2026 at this stage, as parents are still awaiting placements based on these arrangements.

We look forward to welcoming you into our family!

Have any questions or want to come pay us a visit?
We would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about life at Oasis Academy Benson or the application process to join our family. We also warmly invite you to come and see the school for yourself.
Every Friday morning, we hold a celebration assembly that you are welcome to attend. This can be followed by a guided tour with one of our senior leaders, giving you a real insight into our vibrant school community. Alternatively, if Fridays don’t suit you, you’re welcome to book a tour at another time that works for you.
To let us know you'll be attending a Friday assembly or to book a tour, please email info@oasisbenson.org stating the date you'd like to visit. One of our team will be in touch to confirm all the details and make sure your visit runs smoothly.
