From the Oakley Primary Academy
I'd like to extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of the students, staff, and governors at Oakley Primary Academy. We are a welcoming village school that is starting its transition to becoming a full primary school this year. As a Sharnbrook Academy Federation member, we collaborate closely with all of the Federation's schools as well as other schools and daycare centres in the neighbourhood. As a result, we can learn from each other, share best practises, and advance together. Because of our strong ties to the preschools, we can get to know the children and their families in-depth before they enrol in the Early Years. Being a "Values School" makes us happy. All members of the team and the content we teach reflect the principles we preach. We work as a cohesive team where all stakeholders are respected and given attention. The National Curriculum is taught at Oakley Primary Academy using an unique curriculum to make learning engaging, enjoyable, and meaningful. Each topic has a logical progression of skills that enables students to succeed not only in major exams but also in everyday life. We collaborate closely with the families at our school and value strong ties between home and school. There is always someone here if you want to talk, and we have an open door policy. I am so proud of our school and the effort that our students, family, staff, PTA, and governors have put out. Please get in touch with us using the information on this page if you have any questions regarding our school.
