Oakway was recently inspected by Ofsted in April 2019. The overall judgement was that the academy requires improvement but the elements of Leadership and Management, Personal Development, Behaviour and Welfare and Early Years were all good. This demonstrates the rapid progress made at the academy over the past three years. Its progress across key stage 2 in 2019 was above or in line with that made by all students nationally in Reading, Writing and Mathematics. This has significantly improved over the last three years.
