Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Oak Green School excels at developing well-rounded pupils who are happy, respectful and engaged learners. The school prioritises reading from the very start and makes learning come alive through carefully planned trips and experiences that broaden pupils' cultural awareness. Staff work hard to ensure every child, including those with additional needs, feels valued and supported to achieve their best.

Key Strengths

  • Strong focus on reading - phonics taught from Nursery onwards with effective support for pupils who fall behind
  • Exceptional character development through cultural experiences, trips to museums/galleries/theatres, and the '10 promises' programme that enriches pupils' lives
  • Excellent behaviour and attitudes with pupils showing respect, kindness and strong understanding of values
  • Well-supported pupils with SEND through a specially resourced provision and knowledgeable staff
  • High expectations for achievement that are increasingly being met through an ambitious, well-developed curriculum

Areas for Improvement

  • Teachers do not always identify and address pupils' misconceptions quickly enough, leading pupils to repeat the same mistakes
  • Adaptations to the curriculum for pupils with SEND are not consistently precise enough to match their particular learning needs
  • Checks on pupils' understanding are not used consistently to inform and adapt teaching in lessons

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective with school leaders demonstrating strong commitment to keeping pupils safe.

Extracurricular Activities

Museum visits, gallery visits, theatre visits, sports ground visits, visits from local member of parliament

Oak Green School is a primary school in Aylesbury where pupils are happy, confident and well-mannered. The school has made significant improvements from its previous 'Requires Improvement' rating and now provides good quality education with outstanding personal development.
