From the first day, we felt welcomed and supported. The teachers are always there to lend a listening ear and the facilities are top-notch. My child has thrived in this nurturing environment and we couldn't be more grateful. *(Feb 2022)* - **4/5** — Some Great Moments, Some Room for Improvement: We've had a mixed experience at The Oaks. On the positive side, our child loves their teacher and the extracurricular activities are fantastic. However, we've encountered some issues with communication and have felt a bit left out of important decisions. We're hoping to see some improvements in these areas. *(Nov 2021)* - **5/5** — Exceptional Care for Our Child: We were initially hesitant to join The Oaks, but from the moment we met the staff, we knew we had found the right place. The school's emphasis on emotional wellbeing has been a game-changer for our child, and we love the way they incorporate therapy into their daily routines. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because we've experienced some minor communication breakdowns with the teachers. *(Sep 2021)* - **5/5** — Our Child Flourished Here: We sent our child to The Oaks from Reception to Year 6 and couldn't be more pleased with the education and support they received. The school's individualized approach to learning really paid off for our child, who went on to excel in their GCSEs. We're so grateful for the relationships we formed with the staff and the sense of community we experienced. *(Jun 2020)* ## Other schools in Stoke-on-Trent - [Alsager Highfields Community Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/stoke-on-trent/alsager-highfields-community-primary-school-21526) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [Kidsgrove Secondary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/stoke-on-trent/kidsgrove-secondary-school-20430) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [Smallthorne Primary Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/stoke-on-trent/smallthorne-primary-academy-16839) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [Castle Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/stoke-on-trent/castle-primary-school-16457) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [All Saints' CofE First School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/stoke-on-trent/all-saints-cofe-first-school-18277) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [Co-op Academy Stoke-On-Trent](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/stoke-on-trent/co-op-academy-stoke-on-trent-11931) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
