Impressive Oasis a hit with students

PUPILS were impressed as they spent their first day in the new Oasis Academy Oldham this morning.

Excited pupils started arriving at the £30m Hollins Road school before 8am this morning.

Anna Mullarkey (14) was one of the first there and said: “It’s really big and bright and the facilities are brilliant.”

The school, which has 1,252 pupils, has replaced South Chadderton and Kaskenmoor Schools.

The new building is on the site of the former Brook Mill. The academy is part of the council’s Building Schools for the Future programme.
