Oasis has a long-term strategy for enhancing the performance of its schools. It has devised a standard curriculum, that each local board can safely adopt knowing it will deliver the National Curriculum. It has invested in staff training so they are focused on improving the outcomes for the students. IN 2021, through its Horizons scheme it is providing each member of staff and student with a tablet. [5]

Oasis Academy Hadley is named after mathematician John Hadley, who lived in the area. Due to the school's specialism in Maths, this name seemed fitting. [6]

It was opened as a co-educational secondary modern school in 1999, and in 2000 was converted to a comprehensive school. [7] In 2008 became a specialist Business and Enterprise college.
