Early Years
6 months - 2 years
At Oak House, our Early Years program provides a nurturing and stimulating environment where young learners begin their educational journey. Rooted in play-based learning and tailored to each child’s unique developmental needs,
Our approach fosters curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning. Through hands-on activities, sensory exploration, and social interaction, children develop foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and emotional well-being, preparing them for a seamless transition to primary education.
At Oak House, every child is encouraged to thrive in a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space.

Reception Class (full day)
Our curriculum is based on the current British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
Seven areas of learning and development
including three prime areas: communication and language, physical development, and personal, social and emotional development; and four specific areas: literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design.
The EYFS emphasizes the importance of play-based learning, observation, assessment, and planning to support children's development and progression.
It also requires close partnership working between parents and early years practitioners to ensure each child receives high-quality care and education.
At the end of the EYFS, children are assessed against the Early Learning Goals in the seven areas of learning and development. This provides a snapshot of their progress and achievements, and ensures that they are ready to move onto Year 1 with the necessary skills and confidence to succeed.

Year1 & 2 - Key Stage 1 (5-7 years)
Full Day
Learning is more formal and structured, however the humour and warm relations that the children were introduced to in Reception class only continue to grow as we support them to realize their potential. We have high expectations for the children to achieve their best and celebrate success in our weekly assembly.
A strong focus continues to be placed on Literacy and Numeracy, with the children building and developing confidence in these core subjects. While the majority of the children’s teaching is with their Class Teacher, they also have the benefit of specialist teachers in P.E, Music, Drama, Art and French. Teachers are committed to nurturing not only the talents that are already apparent, but the potential of every child, and focus on discovering each child’s unique interests, strengths and areas for development.
Sport and Enrichment
Building the whole child
Oak House children play football, swim, and train in tennis and athletics. Alongside these, we offer golf, dance, LAMDA, Teddy Tennis, and Little Professors.
Every child finds something that lights them up.
Because a child who is passionate outside the classroom is unstoppable inside it.
Wellbeing at Oak House
A child who feels well learns well. At Oak House, wellbeing is not a separate programme. It is woven into every part of the day.
Our youngest children enjoy weekly yoga with a dedicated instructor. Across the school, teachers lead mindfulness moments that help children pause, breathe, and reset.
We create space for children to talk about how they feel, to be heard, and to develop emotional strength alongside academic ability.
We work closely with families because we know wellbeing does not stop at the school gate. When a child is supported at home and at school, there is no limit to what they can achieve.
At Oak House, we grow confident, calm, and resilient children. That is our promise.
