What This School Does Well
Oak Lodge School excels at supporting the whole child - not just academics but also their emotional wellbeing and confidence. The school creates a genuinely inclusive community where deaf and hearing staff work together as positive role models, and pupils develop a strong sense of their own culture while learning to respect others.
Key Strengths
- Pupils develop resilience, maturity and self-belief through strong personal development work
- Teaching of communication skills is woven throughout the curriculum
- Positive role models from both deaf and hearing communities support pupils' academic and personal growth
- Strong links with local colleges give sixth form learners good access to relevant courses
- Pupils behave well and treat others with respect
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching is not consistently adapted based on what teachers know pupils can and cannot do
- Some adults do not demonstrate accurate letter and number formation when setting tasks
- Sixth form learners need more extended work experience opportunities to better understand the workplace
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with secure staff suitability checks, consistent training, and clear identification of key staff through photographs and posters so pupils know who to approach with concerns.
Extracurricular Activities
Yoga, tai-chi, dog-walking, musical instrument tuition, sporting activities, annual art exhibition, cultural events
Oak Lodge School is a good school where pupils make solid progress across a range of subjects and develop strong personal and communication skills. The school has recovered well from a period of leadership difficulty with effective support from governors.
