On 1st June, Oakwood School converted to an academy and joined the Mercian Trust.  We are currently updating the website to reflect these changes.  

Welcome to Oakwood School

Oakwood School is a specialist provision for children and young people aged 3 - 14 years with complex educational needs.  The school is commissioned for 238 places (September 2024).

We pride ourselves in providing a safe, stimulating and nurturing learning environment where we help our pupils to learn in bespoke and innovative ways to ensure optimum progression.

Our highly qualified staff coupled with our forward-thinking approach to resources and technology, allow learners to communicate and participate in the world around them.

We promote a wide range of high quality learning experiences, catering for all learning styles so that no learner is ever left behind.

At Oakwood everyone is valued and treated with respect and is encouraged to be the best they can possibly be.

Vision Statement

We promote a culture of positivity, ambition and resilience through pupil centred learning to engage, motivate and empower learners in all areas of their lives. 

Learners are at the heart of our school. Together with their families, we foster strong supportive teams around them to build on strengths and overcome barriers; embracing creativity, innovation and technology.

We maximise potential, grow independence and celebrate all achievements.
