Stunning facilities to learn and grow.

First-time visitors to our school are always impressed by the scale and range of facilities on offer at Oakfields. Set in a Grade II-listed mansion with bright and airy classrooms within seven acres of stunning grounds, our children have the space to learn and grow. The three-acre field in front of the school is used daily during playtimes and is also used for P.E. lessons, including Cross-Country Running, Rugby, Rounders and Athletics.

The school is set in the main house, where many of the impressive historic features remain. It also has a Library and a separate Hall that serves multiple purposes, hosting assemblies, P.E. lessons, and also functions as our dining area.

Our Exceptional Nursery.

We understand that parents want to give their children the best possible start in life. Our vibrant and nurturing Nursery, now located within our brand new Early Years Village, offers children the opportunity to take their first steps on their educational journey in a warm and nurturing environment.

The formative years of a child’s education are ones of excitement, exploration and discovery, where they will begin to make friends, experience new opportunities and learn about a world beyond the secure confines of their immediate home life.
