Oaklands Infant School
About Oaklands Infant School
Oaklands Infant School in Wokingham is a state primary for children aged 4 to 7, currently home to 166 pupils against a capacity of 180. That leaves a little breathing room, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 90 applications for 58 places, with 45 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.55, meaning for every place available, more than one and a half families wanted it. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 4.8%, notably lower than the national average, reflecting the relatively affluent catchment. The school is non-religious, with no nursery or sixth form provision, and is led by headteacher Ellen Weston. It is a mixed, non-boarding school, and its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, rated it Good across the board.
