- **5/5** — Helped My Child Flourish: We moved to the area a few years ago, and I'm so glad we chose Oakwood for our child. The teaching and support were excellent, and the school's focus on innovation and lifelong learning really helped my child thrive. They're now at university, and I still think Oakwood played a big role in their success. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good Experience, Some Areas for Improvement: I've been generally happy with Oakwood School, but I do think there could be more support for parents in terms of communication and getting involved. My child loves the Duke of Edinburgh's Award program, and the teachers are generally great. However, I've had some issues with online payments and tracking my child's progress. *(Nov 2021)*
