Oakwood School has given me so many opportunities to flourish. I love all my subjects because my teachers are passionate about their subjects. I have chosen History, German and PE at GCSE and I am also on the triple award for science. Oakwood provides a wide range of extra-curricular activities, with dedicated staff who strive to bring out the best in everyone. My most memorable opportunity was visiting The Gambia. This allowed me to make a difference to young people less fortunate than myself.

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.

Teacher of Humanities
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.

Teacher of English and Middle Leader
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.

Year 11 Student
I am passionate about sports and education and currently studying for my GCSE’s. My favourite subject is Science, we are lucky to have a great Science department with passionate teachers. Oakwood hold many educational trips abroad and local. The best one by far was the football tour to Benfica in 2019, where we got to train in the best facilities with world class coaches. Oakwood has also helped me to think about my future career choices.

What I like about Oakwood is that all the subjects are exciting. I personally love PE because I love sport. We do many different sports every year and it gives me a chance to try something new.
