As a student at Oakwood I have lots of opportunities. I have visited Germany and France on school trips, as well as Surrey University and soon Spain. I am in the Harlequins Rugby Academy and captain of the rugby team. The sporting facilities are excellent, as well as the learning resources which allow me to follow my interests for Computing. They have a diverse range of extracurricular activities to choose from, as well as tools which let you pursue whatever your future.

I like Oakwood School because there is a variety of subjects. I love to read and 'Drop Everything and Read' really helps my writing to develop more.

As a student, the teachers of Oakwood were very motivating and why I am a teacher today. My route into teaching was straightforward. I volunteered one day a week at Oakwood, working with students and spending time in lessons, reinforcing why I wanted to go into the profession. Oakwood offering the Schools Direct Route into teaching was appealing. I was aware I would get support from all areas of the school community. I can’t wait to see where the rest of my journey with Oakwood will go.

I first came to Oakwood during the second placement of my teacher training and the first thing that struck me was the huge sense of collegiality and community. The best thing about being a teacher at Oakwood is having the privilege to work with such fantastic and creative students. It’s brilliant to work in a school which offers the students a great environment to work in. Oakwood is a school that never stands still. We reflect and develop to give students the best opportunities.
