The staff at Melksham Oak have been incredibly supportive of my child as they prepare for their GCSEs. The homework platform is easy to use, and the teachers are always available to offer extra help when needed.

"Wonderful school with excellent facilities!"

We've only had our child at Melksham Oak for a year, but we've seen a huge improvement in their confidence and academic ability. The sports facilities are top-notch and the staff are always friendly and supportive.

"Some great initiatives, but still work to do"

I love the concept of the Next Steps Fair, and the careers advice is top-notch. However, I feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about what's going on.

"Helped my child achieve their dreams!"

Melksham Oak helped my child achieve their GCSEs and go on to uni - I couldn't be prouder of their accomplishments. The school's values of resilience and determination really resonated with them, and the staff were always supportive.
