"Excellent Education and Extracurricular Activities"

We were very happy with the education our child received at Oakwood Primary Academy. The school's Phonics program was particularly effective, and our child made great progress with their reading skills. The after-school clubs were also a highlight - our child loved the Drama club.

"Some Great Things, but Room for Improvement"

We've been happy with some aspects of Oakwood Primary Academy, such as the school meals and the support from the teaching assistants. However, our child has struggled with the volume of homework and the pace of some lessons. We've also had some issues with communication from the school regarding our child's progress.
