OAKFIELD PREPARATORY SCHOOL
Established in 1887, and a member of the leading global education provider, Education Development Trust, Oakfield Preparatory School, aims to give its pupils a caring, challenging and inspiring environment where they can develop during their formative years. We encourage every pupil to be inquisitive and forward-thinking, to best equip them with the wide range of personal qualities essential for them to thrive in tomorrow’s world, while instilling traditional principles of discipline, courtesy and respect.
Situated in green and leafy West Dulwich, transport links are excellent. Oakfield boasts very strong links with all its prestigious neighbouring senior schools to which Oakfield children gravitate, many with scholarships, at the end of Year 6.
Our range of Extra-Curricular Activities is extensive: from Karate to Reasoning, from Chess to the Orchestra, and many more in between. We encourage our children to discover their talents, and then we support them to make the most of their gifts.
All our children learn French with a host of other subjects taught by specialist teachers, such as IT, Sport, Music, including musical instruments, Mathematics, English, Science and Art. We believe there should be no ceiling to the achievements of our children. The pastoral care here at Oakfield is of the highest quality and staff have the highest expectations of our children. Oakfield is staffed by a highly dedicated and committed team of academic and support staff. The senior leadership team is strong with an excellent vision for the future of the school.
