Welcome

We are delighted to welcome you to Oaklands Junior School where we celebrate both academic achievements and children’s creativity and talents in equal measure. Our curriculum embraces this creativity by providing fun, practical and engaging activities both inside and outside the classroom.

Accredited as a Thinking School by the University of Exeter, we are passionate about our vision – “Learning to Think and Thinking to Learn”. We strongly believe this is a key life skill that children will develop in their learning across the curriculum. Our aim is for all our children, by the time they transition to secondary school, to be capable of independently using the thinking tools we have taught them during their time with us.

Our prospectus which can be viewed below provides a wealth of information about Oaklands Junior School. We trust you will find this both informative and useful. Should you wish to arrange a visit to our school then please contact our School Office via email admin@oaklands-jun.wokingham.sch.uk or phone 01344 773496.

Oaklands Junior School, together with Oaklands Infant School (our feeder school) and Edgbarrow School (where most of our Year 6 children transition to), is a founder member of the Corvus Learning Trust.

Mr H West, Executive Headteacher and Mr D Holland, Head of School
