Teaching and Learning

At Oakfields, our Key Stages take children from the age of 3 years old, all the way through to 11. The youngest children here attend our Nursery, where learning is play-based and focusses on three core development areas; Communication and Language, Personal, Social and Emotional Development and Physical Development.

Next step on the Oakfields Preparatory journey is our Pre-Preparatory. The curriculum in Pre-Prep is more structured than in Nursery. However, there is still a real emphasis on enjoyment with students being given ample opportunity to express themselves. Pre-Prep sees pupils introduced to new subjects such as Music, P.E and Spanish.

Our Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 classes build on the excellent educational foundation laid by our early years team. Our bespoke curriculum delivers a broad range of subjects from forest school to non-verbal reasoning in KS2. Building on the Cognita way we ensure our curriculum builds, character, global awareness and academic outcomes – these are at the heart of everything we do.

When visiting the school we are very proud of our curriculum and both staff and children are happy to answer any questions you may have.
