"Our little Oakwood family is thriving!"

We're loving every minute of our Oakwood journey! From the moment our daughter started Reception, we knew we'd made the right choice. The facilities, particularly the swimming pool and art room, are top-notch, and the values the school instills in our children are wonderful. We feel so lucky to be part of the Oakwood community!

"Mixed bag, but mostly positive"

We've been impressed with the Oakwood community, and our daughter has made some lovely friends. However, we've experienced some issues with communication and organization, which have caused us some frustration. The facilities are great, and the values the school promotes are wonderful. We're hoping things will improve in the coming years, but for now, we're giving Oakwood 3.5 stars.

"A truly special place for our children"

We were so sad to leave Oakwood when our children finished Year 6, but we know they'll always treasure the memories and skills they gained during their time at the school. The education, outdoor activities, and extracurricular programs are all excellent, and the staff are dedicated and caring. We highly recommend Oakwood to any family looking for a supportive and stimulating environment for their children.
