Student focused curriculum in Croydon

“We cannot fault anything about this nursery. The members of staff are wonderful and have really gotten to know our little boy. They communicate with us every evening at pick up and tell us everything about his day, what they've done, what he has eaten, how much he has slept, his mood and his progress. We cannot believe how much he has come on since joining this nursery in September after stalling in his development at another place. The food offered is varied and my little boys eating has really improved too. The facilities are great and the children spend lots of time outside and even have PE classes. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone!”

“Both of my children attended this school and they loved every minute of it. The teachers are very caring and nurturing.”

“I will miss this school terribly after leaving it this year... It's really really lovely!”

“We have been so pleased with how well run and engaging this school is. Our daughter always loves going to school and the quality of their teachers is superb. The facilities themselves are stunning and aways kept in such great condition. We love the community spirit of the school and look forward to many more years as part of RFA.”

“I went to watch another amazing show with the Brit Student it was all about dancing.”

“An amazing college with 60 years of great academic track record.”

“My son was really happy in this nursery, happy memories still on his mind about the staff and his learning process. It is a frendly, caring and safe enviroment that I will recomend to every one who whish a happy child.”

“Run by extremely professional staff, people that care about the children they teach and are all very talented teachers and an amazing principal. This has been a fantastic experience for my child, making friends, performing on a West End stage, giving her much confidence needed. Now heading to Uni to become a barrister, all those skills will be used professionally too. Thanks!”

“Really good nursery I highly recommend it! I could see an improvement in my daughter very quickly, she loves it! The staff are all very nice and Seema, the manager, too.”

“A great primary school with nursery and was such a sad thing leaving. Amazing kind teachers and exciting fun sports activities like cricket, football and hockey. Shout-out to Mrs Allen”

“Love this school, hidden away in a residential area, you are welcomed by an old, huge building but it is not intimidating. The school is friendly and nurturing, like when I went to school. It is not like these academies that focus on results and not the children's wellbeing. The staff are friendly and my children made fabulous progress here! Dont just read ofsted reports, go and visit a school and talk to the people who work there day in and day out!”

“Lovely teachers, good methodology, excellent facilities, overall very good school and most of all, my kids love going to school which is what it's all about at the end of the day.”

“Excellent school with kind and caring staff and friendly well brought up students!”

“I went to this school, back in 1986-93 although I didn't like school, I wouldn’t fault it, the teachers did a brilliant job, it can't have been easy and the head teacher was good as well, remembering all of the pupils names, I have trouble remembering my own children's names, so to remember how ever many pupils were there at the time I was there, he must have had a good memory.”

“A very friendly school which I enjoyed every bit since the start of the term.Best place ever!!!”

“My six children all went to Oakwood - my eldest went to secondary school in 2002 and my youngest in 2015. They all look back with great affection at their time at the school and gratitude for the fantastic education, spiritual development and opportunities they had to develop their enjoyment and talents in music, drama, verse-speaking, sport. They had a lot of fun at Oakwood whilst always being encouraged to give of their best in their work and in their relationships with others. They felt genuinely cared for and valued by all the staff and supported if they struggled with school work or friendship issues or any other worries they had. Mr Candia, the Head, was especially an inspiration to them. As a parent I feel blessed that my children were able to spend those formative years at such a fantastic primary school.”

“Both of my children have attended this nursery. Staff are kind, attentive and professional. My children have always come home happy and content from being there. They have been superb during the pandemic. They are flexible to our needs when possible and really go the extra mile to do things for the kids. Highly recommend.”

“I love the school because I was given the opportunity to get on the netball team and I go back to see all of my primary school mates and teacher”

“My daughter started the school in January. She tells me how happy she is there in comparison to her old school. Her tutor is lovely and has really helped her feel at home. The parent app they use keeps you well informed, showing me her attendance, reports and achievements as she gets them which I think is great. My daughter likes the teachers and feels that she is learning well from them.”

“It's an awesome school. The teachers are supper Attentive. My child loves to go to the school and it's being so good for him! All the teachers from the class 5G are really good, especially Ms Anderson Mckenzie and also the principal Ms Hunter.”

“Wonderful building, amazing and hard working leadership team, teachers and staff but especially very happy children!!”
