About The Oak View Academy

If you're a parent considering The Oak View Academy, the early signals are strong. In its most recent admissions round for 2025/26, the school was oversubscribed with 27 applications for just 10 places, giving a ratio of 2.7 applicants per spot. All 10 first-preference families received an offer, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, it's a realistic choice. The school is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site, and it currently has 154 pupils against a capacity of 182, so there is some room to grow. The headteacher is Helen Bebbington, and the school has no religious character. While the Parent View data isn't included here, the oversubscription figure alone indicates a solid local reputation.
