What the school offers its staff
Oaklands is a child-centred outstanding school, where pupils learn in a nurturing and happy environment. Nestled in the heart of Cheshire West and Chester, our school embodies a transformative 'can do' philosophy, where every pupil is supported to achieve their full potential. With a deeply caring and supportive staff, we create a happy, nurturing environment that celebrates individual progress and enriches each pupil's educational journey.
Our school's core motto, "The best for all, the best from all," reflects our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional, personalised education. We believe in creating an inclusive atmosphere where pupils can develop crucial life skills, overcome challenges, and discover their unique strengths.
All pupils have an Education, Health and Care Plan with moderate learning difficulties stated to be their most significant difficulty. However, a small number of pupils also have severe learning difficulties, social and emotional difficulties, or speech and communication difficulties. In line with their learning difficulties, the attainment of pupils is well below what is expected for their age when they enter the school. There are three classes in each of the five year groups from Year 7 to Year 11, as well as a small sixth form, and these are organised largely by academic ability and appropriate educational pathways.
