## Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
Oasis English Language School uses premises in Burlington Road,
Ipswich - a building that is owned by Ipswich International Church. The
Church gives the School free use. It is ideally located in the area of
highest need in Ipswich where the last census showed that up to 20% of
residents could not speak English.
The academic year 2019–20 was cut short by Covid-19. The School finished on 12 March and was not able to re-open due to national lockdowns and it not being possible to socially distance within the building.
The academic year would normally have been September 2020 to June 2021 however due to Covid-19 the school was closed.
The Trustees met (on Zoom) during July 2020. The Trustees met again (on Zoom) during March and April 2021 to consider and make plans to re-open the school in September 2021.
