Welcome to Oaklands Park School

What do you think of our school website?

Oaklands Park is a very special community school.  We are unique in South West England because we offer education and care to children and young people who have a range of special needs.  Our students (who are between the ages of 2 and 19 years) come from all over the county of Devon. 

We work very closely with parents and other professionals.  We have built strong partnerships and relationships and our work has been recognised by others :

“very strong relationships across both the school and the boarding provision, enable….  pupils to feel safe, make good progress in their personal development and enjoy coming to school”   (Ofsted 2009)

But what matters most to us is what our parents and pupils think of us.

We are a ‘Healthy School Community’.  Many of our students enjoy participating in a range of sports and outdoor activities – you can see them working hard in the various sections of this website.

We have nearly 10 acres of grounds with sports pitches, play equipment, fields and hard play areas.  We have a library, swimming pool, a ball pool, sensory rooms, trampolines and allotments which pupils can work on.

A major building programme will begin in the autumn of 2009, which will give us state-of-the-art facilities for learning and for residence. 

Oaklands Park aspires to be a happy school where children can enjoy learning.  If you think we can be of help to you, we look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards
