Vision and values
Oakhill School and Nursery's motto is "Faith stronger than the oak". The school values respect, honesty and a good sense of humour. Staff work to celebrate every member of the school’s community and believe every pupil has the right, and the ability, to reach their full potential. They also strive to provide a caring, safe environment and to instil a love of learning in each and every student.
The school provides a broad and varied curriculum. It provides lots of one-on-one support as classes are small in size and there is only one class in each year group. Core subjects, especially literacy and numeracy, are emphasised. There is a vast array of extra-curricular activities, from sports and music to the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme and Outdoor Activities Club.
