About Oakhill Primary School

Parents at Oakhill Primary School are overwhelmingly positive, with 92% of respondents to the Ofsted Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, drew 64 responses and showed particularly strong satisfaction with how happy children feel: 83% of parents strongly agreed their child is happy, and 80% strongly agreed their child feels safe. The school is also heavily oversubscribed. For the 2025/26 reception intake, Oakhill offered 30 places and received 154 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5.13 applicants per place. Of those, 25 families put Oakhill as their first preference, and 23 received offers. This level of demand suggests a school that local families are keen to get into, and the parent feedback backs that up — 70% of parents strongly agreed their child does well here, and 70% strongly agreed their child can take part in clubs and activities.
