“Pupils at Oakwood school are given the opportunity to thrive.”
“All staff share a moral purpose to help the pupils be the best they can be.”
“Leaders understand this and ensure that pupils are supported to feel safe and settle quickly, through building strong and nurturing relationships.”

“However, some of the subjects on offer have been affected by recent staffing changes.”
“If a subject expert leaves, the school does not always ensure that there is sufficient subject expertise to teach that subject.”
“While this does not impact the core subjects, at times this does impact the quality of the other subjects.”
