Oakbank School is a Foundation co-educational comprehensive school catering for students aged 11 to 19. It has just over 1800 students, of whom 250 are in our sixth form.  We take in 330 pupils a year. Foundation status means that we are funded through Bradford LA but we are our own employers, run our own admissions policy, own our own land. We are a Specialist Sports College. This means we have extra resources for developing sport in school and in the community, more teachers and more coaches able to offer a wider variety of activities. All this is in addition to the normal curriculum and not instead of it.

Welcome to Oakbank School. Here at Oakbank student achievement comes first. We have high expectations of all our students, and seek to ensure that they make outstanding progress, both in and out of lessons. To succeed in this, we believe that partnership with our parents is crucial and pride ourselves on our excellent home-school links. We want our pupils not only to achieve their academic potential, but also enjoy school, to take part in an extensive range of extra curricular activities, and, at all times be perfectly safe. Above all, we want them to leave Oak bank as confident, mature young adults, fully equipped with the skills and knowledge to be successful in whatever they choose to do.

Dear Parents/Guardians

On this day the timetable will be collapsed and students will be involved in different learning experiences.  The success of the day relies upon all students rising to the challenges they are offered and upon them conducting themselves in a positive manner.
