About King's Oak Academy

Of the 20 parents who responded to Ofsted’s Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025, 75% said they would recommend King’s Oak Academy to other parents. That’s a solid majority, though it leaves a quarter who wouldn’t, which is worth noting. The school is oversubscribed for Reception places in 2025/26, with 25 applications for 18 places — a ratio of 1.39 applicants per place. Of those, 17 put King’s Oak as their first preference, and all 17 received an offer. On individual questions, the strongest signals came from parents feeling the school communicates well: 65% strongly agreed they’re made aware of what their child will learn, and 60% strongly agreed they’re kept informed of progress. However, only 20% strongly agreed that bullying is dealt with quickly and effectively, and 15% disagreed outright — though 40% marked it as not applicable, suggesting many families haven’t encountered the issue. Overall, 90% of parents agreed or strongly agreed their child is happy here.
