Throughout its 100 year journey, Oakleigh House School has established an enviable reputation for academic excellence, shaping confident and enthusiastic learners who carry their childhood

Nicola Hill, Head Teacher of Oakleigh House School, told Lifestyle Wales: “We take pride in our family-centred ethos and holistic approach to education. We are dedicated to fostering a warm, welcoming environment where children are encouraged to reach their full potential, and we’re committed to building confidence, character, and resilience in every student.
“Through a caring community, we instil values of respect, consideration, and support, fostering an environment where every child’s voice is heard and individual needs are met.
“As much emphasis is put on the wellbeing of our pupils as their academic achievement. Unless children are happy, they will not fulfil their potential, therefore, we put significant effort into ensuring all pupils are well cared for, emotionally, as well as academically.
“With small class sizes and a team of experienced teachers, we offer personalised learning that ensures every child receives the support they need to excel.
“Our strong pastoral care means that your child will be guided and encouraged every step of their learning journey with us. Pupils are positively engaged and focused in lessons with enthusiasm for the myriad of other opportunities that school has to offer.
“We understand that a good education is not just about success in
the classroom - we pay equal attention to our children’s happiness,
sociability and sense of belonging.
“Everyone at Oakleigh House learns the value of respect and consideration for others, using good manners and helping one another from a very early age.
“To support busy families, we provide a comprehensive extra- curricular programme and wraparound care for all children, from Nursery to Year 6.”
