Oakmoor School

About Oakmoor School

Oakmoor School is a brand new, state of the art secondary school situated in a 22 acre tree lined site on the edge of the South Downs National Park.

We benefit from cutting edge technology throughout the site and the latest specialist equipment for key areas such as science, technology and performing arts. Our main buildings surround a central court yard which includes covered areas for outside dining and seating areas outside of the learning resource centre for reading at break and lunch times.

There is an abundance of green spaces which include several sports pitches, an athletics track, a nurture garden and a forest school area for outside learning and activities. The whole site is bordered by mature trees providing a relaxing and inspirational backdrop to our inspirational learning environment.

We are a very successful school where high levels of respect and conduct prevail. Our success shows that when you couple high quality pastoral care with high standards and expectations, young people are able to flourish and to achieve their very best.

Values and Vision

The Oakmoor ethos is encapsulated by our motto: Ambition, Courage, Excellence.  We are a friendly, vibrant school with high standards and expectations. We pride ourselves on knowing every young person as an individual and challenging each of them to have the highest possible aspirations.

Teachers aim to provide engaging lessons which are fun for all students.  Oakmoor School hopes pupils take advantage of the opportunities presented to them, including clubs and activities outside of the classroom.

Ofsted Report

In November 2021 Ofsted judged our school as "Good" in all categories.  The report recognised how talented and dedicated our teachers are and how well our students demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning and to all members of our school community.

We are continuing our journey to becoming an outstanding school in partnership with all local stakeholders, especially our parents and students.
