More than a school, we’re a family.
At Oakfields Preparatory School, community is at the heart of what we do. We firmly believe that by providing a broad, balanced, and heightened curriculum, our children can truly flourish. Our ever-changing and evolving approach to enrichment activities throughout the school day and the children’s journey across different school phases, helps pupils develop resilience and the capacity to make choices that align with their interests and abilities.
We strive to embody the importance of leadership and empower our children to become role models for future generations through the refinement of our leadership programme. While we are an Essex-based community in the heart of Upminster, our connection to the broader Cognita family extends our reach, allowing us to be part of a globally connected community.
