About Us
Oasis Academy Connaught was previously Connaught Primary School. As we transferred to an Academy we wanted to keep the Connaught name as we have pride in its history and confidence in its future. We are located on Melvin Square in Knowle West. Our Community Centre enables the Academy to facilitate and provide more provision, in addition to education, to our families. Come and visit - you are sure of a nice surprise! 2

Attendance It is crucial that your child attends the Academy every day if they are going to have the best chance to reach their learning potential. Please encourage your child to get themselves organised and dressed for school. They need to collect what they need for the day and leave their home in time. If children are late for school they do not have the best start. This also disrupts the rest of the class. Every minute counts. Be smart. Be on time.
