About Oatlands Community Junior School

Parents are overwhelmingly positive about Oatlands Community Junior School, with 96% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend it. That survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, drew 93 replies, and the numbers behind that recommendation are striking. 93% of parents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 95% felt their child is safe. Behaviour and expectations score highly too: 85% agreed the school ensures good behaviour, and 92% felt it has high expectations for their child. The school is effectively at capacity, with 361 pupils on roll against a published capacity of 360, so it is a popular choice locally. Oversubscription data isn't provided, but the tight fit between pupil numbers and capacity suggests places are in demand. For a junior school serving ages 7 to 11, this level of parental confidence is a strong signal that the school is meeting families' day-to-day needs.
