Primary Education
Oakhill delivers comprehensive primary education for children aged 4-11, following the Early Years Foundation Stage and National Curriculum. Our experienced teachers create engaging lesson plans that develop literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills. The school's outdoor spaces enhance practical learning while fostering social development through structured play and collaborative activities.
Special Educational Needs
We provide tailored support for pupils with special educational needs through our dedicated Blossom Room and specialist staff. Individualised learning plans ensure accessibility to the curriculum while maintaining inclusion within mainstream classes. Regular progress assessments and parent consultations guarantee continuous support aligned with each child's unique requirements.
After School Clubs
Our Treehouse After School Club and enrichment programmes offer supervised activities from 3:15pm daily. These include academic support, creative arts, sports, and STEM projects that extend learning beyond regular hours. The clubs promote social skills development while providing flexible childcare solutions for working families in Stoke-on-Trent.
Parental Engagement
We maintain strong home-school partnerships through Arbor and ClassDojo communication platforms. Regular reading breakfasts, parents' evenings, and community events foster collaborative relationships. Our open-door policy allows parents to discuss pupil progress with teachers and access resources supporting learning at home.
Virtual Learning
Digital resources and virtual learning tools supplement classroom instruction through structured home learning programmes. Pupils access interactive materials via secure platforms while parents receive guidance on supporting educational activities. This blended approach ensures continuity during absences and reinforces key concepts through technology-enhanced methods.

Report
Although some of the teachers are outstanding, there is one particular staff member who i cant stand and sadly she let my children down and made them hate coming to this school. They are happily going a different school now.
