Oakfield Junior School in its own words

In its own words: "Oakfield Junior School is a two form entry school from year 3-6 with approximately 260 pupils, in addition we have a Learning Difficulties Centre for 16 pupils with a wide range of learning needs. These children are currently included in all mainstream classes in the afternoon for lessons other than numeracy and literacy."

From the headteacher's welcome: "As you explore it, hopefully you will start to understand what makes Oakfield the very special school that it is. Choosing the right school for your child can be one of the hardest decisions that we as parents have to make."

The school runs a breakfast club from 7:50am and after-school care.
