This is a particularly exciting time to join Oak Wood as work has almost finished on our brand new school building, complete with state-of-the-art facilities. This September we had a co-educational Year 7 intake for the first time in the school’s history, and I am delighted to say that our first cohort has settled in incredibly well. Evidence of their positive influence can already be seen throughout the school.
