The Oak Partnership Trust is a family of schools that cater for children and young people from 2 – 19 years old.

Established on 1st January 2019 with a clear purpose of being an inclusive community of schools which inspires a passion for knowledge and the courage and confidence to fly.

Our Trust consists of 9 settings:

Selworthy Special School is split into four sites:

Hazelbrook Campus provides specialist provision for secondary aged learners,
The Grove provides specialist provision for sixth form
The Cove provides support for a small number of learners to access mainstream school at Court Fields Secondary School

We have four Primary schools:

Ruishton C of E Primary School

2 Nurseries:

Whilst all parts of society, including education, have been through a really tough time, we have found at The Oak Partnership Trust that we have grown together and learnt to strengthen our collaboration so that we are better able to match our purpose, achieve our mission and move towards our vision.

We have a highly motivated and skilled team of teachers and support staff who are determined to provide the best possible learning opportunities for all our children and young people regardless of barriers.

We believe that we can never stop learning and we can never stop improving. As a Trust we recognise that we are all responsible for all the children and young people across our Trust, not just with our individual builds; that by working together and learning together we can take the best from each piece and make it into a stronger whole.
