Oaklands is a special school for young people aged 4-19 who have severe learning difficulties.
We have a bespoke department for young people with profound and multiple learning difficulties. Around 50% of pupils at Oaklands are autistic. At Oaklands we believe that all of our students can make outstanding progress. Our curriculum is designed to support young people to make progress, develop skills and become more independent.
New Oaks
New Oaks is our primary school for 75 young people located at our site in Woodlands Road, Isleworth. New Oaks reopened at Woodlands Road in 2020 following the redevelopment of the building. Provision is opening year by year and will be fully open by September 2023.
High Oaks
High Oaks is our 175-place secondary school which includes our 3-year sixth form programme. High Oaks is located on a purpose-built site in Gresham Road, Hounslow. We are proud of our success in meeting young peoples' needs, determined to continue to provide the best quality education to young people whose learning difficulties are severe or profound, and to autistic children who have severe learning difficulties. Our students' needs are at the centre of all we do to prepare them for the most meaningful independent and fulfilling lives possible.
Oaklands has been graded Outstanding by Ofsted and has advanced level accreditation from the National Autistic Society.
