What Type of School Is Oakwood Secondary School?

Welcome

From the Headteacher

Oakwood School in Horley is an 11-16 Secondary School of approximately 1400 students and we are a proud and thriving school community. Our aspirational vision is encapsulated by our motto 'Achieving Excellence Together' as we strive to ensure that every individual makes exceptional progress, whatever their strengths and interests. This aspirational approach permeates throughout our work and curricular activities as we prepare students...

Jack

Year 11 Student

As a student at Oakwood I have lots of opportunities. I have visited Germany and France on school trips, as well as Surrey University and soon Spain. I am in the Harlequins Rugby Academy and captain of the rugby team. The sporting facilities are excellent, as well as the learning resources which allow me to follow my interests for Computing. They have a diverse range of extracurricular activities to choose from, as well as tools which let you pursue whatever your future.

Jake

Year 7 Student

I like Oakwood School because there is a variety of subjects. I love to read and 'Drop Everything and Read' really helps my writing to develop more.

Miss Selsby

Teacher of Humanities

As a student, the teachers of Oakwood were very motivating and why I am a teacher today. My route into teaching was straightforward. I volunteered one day a week at Oakwood, working with students and spending time in lessons, reinforcing why I wanted to go into the profession. Oakwood offering the Schools Direct Route into teaching was appealing. I was aware I would get support from all areas of the school community. I can't wait to see where the rest of my journey with Oakwood will go.

Mr Herbert

Teacher of English and Middle Leader

I first came to Oakwood during the second placement of my teacher training and the first thing that struck me was the huge sense of collegiality and community. The best thing about being a teacher at Oakwood is having the privilege to work with such fantastic and creative students. It's brilliant to work in a school which offers the students a great environment to work in. Oakwood is a school that never stands still. We reflect and develop to give students the best opportunities.

Ellie

Year 10 Student

What I like about Oakwood is all of the opportunities that it gives me such as the brilliant clubs and now the Duke of Edinburgh Award. I also like the subjects available at Oakwood because they are interesting and diverse.

Xinyan

Year 8 Student

Oakwood School has given me many opportunities to flourish. I love all subjects because my teachers are passionate about their subjects. Oakwood provides a wide range of extra-curricular activities, with dedicated staff who strive to bring out the best in everyone. The teachers at Oakwood are supportive and they have helped me learn many new skills in all my subjects. Oakwood has given me many opportunities to meet and make new lifelong friends.
