Oakley School

About Oakley School

Oakley School, a mixed state secondary in Warwick, holds an Ofsted rating that reflects a school still finding its feet academically. In its most recent inspection, the school was graded Requires Improvement overall, a rating that places it among a minority in Warwickshire, where seven out of 42 similar schools are rated Outstanding. The most telling metric is the school’s Progress 8 score, which sits below the local authority average of 0. 02. This figure measures how much progress pupils make between the end of primary school and their GCSEs compared with peers across England, and Oakley’s score suggests that, on average, students leave with lower results than might be expected given their starting points. The school’s headteacher, Sarah Kaye, leads a relatively small roll of 377 pupils against a capacity of 1,354, meaning the school is significantly under-enrolled. That spare capacity, combined with the Ofsted rating, may be a factor in the school’s high oversubscription ratio — 3. 06 applicants per place — though it is worth noting that only 153 of 188 first-preference families received an offer for the 2025/26 intake.
