Welcome To Oakbank School

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.

The Headteacher's Introduction

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.

Oakbank wins the “Big Deal” and heads off to New York!

As a school we are always looking to actively encourage our students to “aspire” to achieve their very best now and in the future. We have worked closely with York University and the Brightside Trust for a number of years, helping our students to aspire to higher education from early on in their education, not just when they reach the Sixth Form.
