At OAKLEY HOUSE HIGH SCHOOL, our aim is to find ways that do work, that will provide a complete and personalised education for your son or daughter. Our learners follow the mainsteam curriculum in a smaller, remedial environment, whilst also mastering the required thinking skills, independence, self-discipline, responsibility, social competence and confidence to a the point where they can be reintroduced to mainstream education. To facilitate access to a broad and balanced curriculum, differentiation and extension of the curriculum is done throughout all teaching and learning.

Oakley House Preparatory School Entry Requirement
Criteria for acceptance
Applicants should be of average ability, or above, and have an assessment from an educational psychologist indicating that they have learning difficulties. As a small specialist school with a very limited number of places, we carefully assess the suitability of each child before making a decision as to whether we can offer a place. Oakley House will not offer any child a place unless the staff feels confident that they can help him or her. Oakley House will not accept children who have emotional or behavioural problems which might seriously inhibit their progress or compromise the learning of others.
Assessments
Apart from the psycho-educational assessment (to determine potential), it may also be necessary for a child to have a scholastic assessment (to determine actual functioning) on enrolment. If deemed necessary, a Speech and Language Therapy assessment and an Occupational Therapy assessment may also be requested. All assessments are additional costs. If your child has had any of these assessments within the last 12 months, copies of the written reports are required. The results of these assessments will determine the starting point of any individual programmes.
Curriculum
Our curriculum provides a specialised, multisensory approach with an emphasis on basic literacy and numeracy skills combined with access to the full National Curriculum. To ensure our children receive an enriching school experience, the learning areas of Art, Music, Drama, Physical Education and Computer Studies form part of our weekly timetable. Study skills are an important part of our curriculum and include learning techniques, memory strategies and organisation skills.
Individual programmes of learning
Children are carefully assessed and individual literacy, numeracy, perceptual and/or behaviour targets are drawn up, appropriate to each child’s specific needs. Progress is closely monitored and programmes are regularly reviewed.
