Oak Heights Independent School

[EduCativ]

The School, established in 2006, is a small co-educational day school for pupils between 11 and 16 and is situated in one of the largest Boroughs in the UK, the Borough of Hounslow. The school focuses on getting students to think for themselves and to develop study skills as well as life skills. We also teach students to respect others and to contribute their time towards the community. We hope that our ethos will inspire students to become tomorrow’s leaders and pioneers. With the right level of discipline, guidance and by paying great attention to each student we hope the school will charter education beyond the national curriculum.
Oak Heights responds to the demands of change by preparing its students to become Pioneers and Leaders. Academic achievement is foremost amongst Oak Height’s goals. It aims to prepare the minds of young students so that they become the best in their eventual career field. The school is small but we believe that small group sizes allow everyone to identify themselves as a valued and secure member of the group. We believe that learning is more enjoyable for the student and it encourages the growth of intellectual curiosity and an increase in self-belief and confidence. Achieving very good examination results relative to the ability of the individual student is important. The development of self-discipline through homework, self-care, and punctuality, as well as responsibility, leads to a high standard of behavior and excellent results. The School's approach may be rigorous in its approach but providing a strongly committed staff that has high expectations of its pupils is important in the success of any school.
Oak Heights is an independent school that strives to nurture, educate and cultivate the most adventurously bright, intellectual spirits to produce top future professionals. Through maintaining an unwavering disciplinary stance, the focus continually remains on teaching meticulously designed programs, which encompass all of the strengths of the national curriculum as well as other social dimensions to facilitate effective learning. Career success is of utmost priority. Both staff and students alike coordinate well in sharing the vital determination to pave the pathways to achievement be it in the Law, Medicine, Finance, or Arts employment sectors.
The school is renowned for having a very selective admissions policy. A deliberate low overall intake of students serves to ensure a very high standard of regulation and accountability amongst our members. It also means the ideal level of academic, personal, and social support received by students is maintained throughout their academic pursuits. Oak Heights fully recognizes the importance of innovative teaching approaches to instill inspiration in the aspiring minds of students.
Our academic timetable highlights the emphasis we place on the development of numeracy and literacy. Consistent effort is also made to develop inquiring minds and sound study habits. Cultural and artistic awareness is never neglected and students become experienced in formulating their own opinions over current affairs by daily discussions and debates over both key national and worldwide concerns. School trips and excursions are frequently organized to enhance this exposure, implanting the seeds for well-rounded personal growth.
Oak Heights avoids the straitjacket approach towards learning relevant examination syllabuses to implement innovative, fresh, and cutting-edge methods of teaching to encourage broad-minded mentality and comprehension. Each student has their special talents – some are brilliant at sport, others in drama and a few just have the innate ability to debate over anything and everything affecting society today. Individuality is cherished in a way that allows the student to think for themselves and pursue their interests and strengths and ultimately, build upon their self-confidence.
