About The Oak Tree Academy

Parents considering The Oak Tree Academy will find strong signals from other families who have been through the process. In the Parent View survey covering September 2024 to September 2025, 89% of respondents said they would recommend the school, with only 11% saying they would not. That's a solid vote of confidence from the 100 families who took part. The school is also clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 36 applications for just 25 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.44. Of those 36 applications, 23 were first-preference choices, and all 23 received an offer. So while it's not the hardest school in Stockton-on-Tees to get into, it's certainly one where demand outstrips supply. Parents responding to the survey were particularly positive about how well their children are doing, with 97% agreeing or strongly agreeing with that statement, and 93% saying the school has high expectations for their child.
