About Oakdene Primary Academy
Oakdene Primary Academy sits within St. Helens local authority, a borough with 54 state primary schools, of which seven hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school is not among the top-ranked peers in the area — those are St Mary's Catholic Primary School, St Mary & St Thomas CofE Primary School, and St Aidan's CofE Primary School Billinge — but it occupies a solid place in the local landscape. The nearest Outstanding-rated primary is Eccleston Lane Ends Primary School, 3.2 kilometres away. Oakdene is a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a school capacity of 244. It has no nursery provision and no sixth form, focusing entirely on its primary-age pupils. Headteacher Lynsey Young leads the school, which operates under the "Does not apply" religious character designation, meaning it is not affiliated with any faith.
