Welcome

On behalf of Oakwood High School I am delighted to welcome you to our new web site. We are a strong and successful school meeting the needs of all abilities across the 11-16 age range in a friendly, caring and hardworking environment. We are well known for innovation, compassion and a determination to be the best we can be. All associated with the school understand the value of hard work, we care about learning, we care about each other, we know the importance of our community and we are all rightly proud to be associated with Oakwood High School.

Oakwood High School is a very special place: A happy, purposeful and highly successful school. We are passionately committed to our pupils’ achievement and to their personal growth. Pupils are encouraged to thrive in all areas of learning, in the classroom and beyond. Every individual matters in Oakwood High School and we seek to develop and encourage every pupil to develop their all round ability and special talent. Our pupils benefit from excellent teaching and a broad curriculum which challenges them to progress at a rate which ensures success. We strive for excellence in all we do and all that we seek to do.

We have a very strong Learning Community and we work very closely and effectively with our partner schools. Our pastoral system is well supported and ensures that pupils join our vertical tutor groups in a confident way which helps them to settle in and begin learning.

I hope that by visiting our website you get a flavour of Oakwood High School. If you wish to follow this up with a visit please contact anyone at the school or visit us on one of our many open events.

I look forward to meeting you.
