"Amazing school with wonderful values"

We are so happy with Oaklands Primary School, Emily's teacher, Ms Sparkes, is very supportive and always keeps us updated with her progress. The school's value of 'Strength Through Diversity' really shines through in everything they do, and we love the variety of clubs and activities they offer. Highly recommend!

"Fantastic school and staff"

We've had an amazing experience at Oaklands so far, Daniel loves his teacher, Mr Reed, and the school's focus on 'Success Through Endeavour' really encourages him to try his best. The facilities are excellent, especially the outdoor play area, and the staff are all so friendly and approachable.

"Mixed feelings about Oaklands"

We moved away from the area a few years ago, but our daughter, Lily, still talks fondly of her time at Oaklands. While the school has some great qualities, such as the 'Ambition Through Challenge' aspect, we did find the communication with teachers to be a bit hit-and-miss at times. Overall, it was a good experience, but not perfect.
