Oak Wood School

Oak Wood School is a friendly and vibrant community where individuals thrive and feel happy, secure, confident and valued. Our approach combines an intellectually rigorous and challenging academic environment with outstanding pastoral care and support.

Oak Wood places a strong emphasis on student achievement both in the academic and social areas. We also provide excellent enrichment opportunities and experiences outside of lessons.

Our core belief is “We Dream, We Learn, We Grow” – that every student should fulfil their potential. To do this we aim to bring out the best in everyone: to discover the best in everyone, to expect the best from everyone, and to support everyone to achieve their full potential.

We create this ethos and achieve these aims by:

• Providing a broad, balanced, challenging and enriching educational experience for all students
• Nurturing the growth of intellectual curiosity, creativity and independent learning
• Creating opportunities for leadership and challenge
• Fostering a lifelong love of learning
• Ensuring relationships are based on mutual respect
• Encouraging hard work and commitment
• Offering a wide range of extra-curricular activities and enrichment programmes
• Working in partnership with parents and carers; encouraging them to be actively involved in their child’s education
• Preparing pupils for their subsequent education and their future lives
• Celebrating success and achievement

We are very proud of what the students are achieving and that they continue to flourish in an atmosphere of mutual respect and discipline which encourages them to succeed.

At Oak Wood, we aim to provide an education and enrichment that will develop and prepare them for the rigours and demands of the 21st century.
