Are you passionate about supporting all students to achieve their personal best? Do you strive to empower your students to become confident, curious and compassionate learners? Do you believe that belonging and connection to one's peers and teachers are essential for academic and personal growth? Are you looking for an opportunity to set the foundations on which a thriving, high performing school can be built to best serve our community for generations to come? If you answered yes to these questions, Oasis Academy Temple Quarter presents an exciting opportunity for you! The OATQ Journey We opened our doors in September 2023 on the site of Oasis Academy Brislington, before moving to our purpose-built temporary home on Spring Street in Bedminster in January 2024. We are currently located less than 0.5miles from Temple Meads train station, at the heart of our vibrant city centre. From September 2027, we will move to our permanent site, situated in Bristol's Temple Quarter development zone, one of the most exciting regeneration projects in the UK at present. Temple Quarter will become a world-class gateway to the region that unlocks the city of Bristol and the West of England's potential. A series of well-connected and thriving mixed-use communities will benefit new and existing residents, employees and visitors with new homes, jobs, infrastructure, and opportunities. Oasis Academy Temple Quarter will be at the heart of this development. Academy Context Currently our Academy comprises Year 7, 8 and 9. Our first Year 10 cohort will start in September 2026. When we move to our permanent site in 2027, we will have a PAN of 1600 students (1200 in Y7 - Y11 and 400 in sixth form), and we expect our cohort to be truly representative of the central part of Bristol, in all its diversity. To date, our students have bought into our culture and show pride in being part of OATQ. The Oasis Way is taught explicitly to students, and we are pleased to say that, so far, our students are responding brilliantly to the high expectations we set. The Role This Head of Year role offers the opportunity to empower our students to become confident, curious, and compassionate learners who are prepared to make a positive impact in the world.

Are you passionate about supporting all students to achieve their personal best? Do you strive to empower your students to become confident, curious and compassionate learners? Do you believe that belonging and connection to one's peers and teachers are essential for academic and personal growth? Are you looking for an opportunity to set the foundations on which a thriving, high performing school can be built to best serve our community for generations to come? If you answered yes to these questions, Oasis Academy Temple Quarter presents an exciting opportunity for you! The OATQ Journey We opened our doors in September 2023 on the site of Oasis Academy Brislington, before moving to our purpose-built temporary home on Spring Street in Bedminster in January 2024. We are currently located less than 0.5miles from Temple Meads train station, at the heart of our vibrant city centre. From September 2027, we will move to our permanent site, situated in Bristol's Temple Quarter development zone, one of the most exciting regeneration projects in the UK at present. Temple Quarter will become a world-class gateway to the region that unlocks the city of Bristol and the West of England's potential. A series of well-connected and thriving mixed-use communities will benefit new and existing residents, employees and visitors with new homes, jobs, infrastructure, and opportunities. Oasis Academy Temple Quarter will be at the heart of this development. Academy Context Currently our Academy comprises Year 7, 8 and 9. Our first Year 10 cohort will start in September 2026. When we move to our permanent site in 2027, we will have a PAN of 1600 students (1200 in Y7 - Y11 and 400 in sixth form), and we expect our cohort to be truly representative of the central part of Bristol, in all its diversity. To date, our students have bought into our culture and show pride in being part of OATQ. The Oasis Way is taught explicitly to students, and we are pleased to say that, so far, our students are responding brilliantly to the high expectations we set. The Role This Head of Year role offers the opportunity to empower our students to become confident, curious, and compassionate learners who are prepared to make a positive impact in the world.
