We would like to pass on our message of thanks to you and your staff, and especially to his A level subject teachers for their unfailing support of our son during his studies. He was delighted with his A Level grades yesterday. We are both very proud of what he has achieved, not just in this very difficult year but throughout his seven years at OPGS.
Parent Feedback
I just wanted to thank you for everything that you have done for me throughout my time at Oakwood, from teaching me in year 7 to supporting me through my GCSE's and A levels.
A former student
My wife and children and I attended the open day this weekend and I just wanted to feed back to you how impressed we were with the two young pupils who showed us round. They were a credit to themselves, their families and the school – please can you pass on our thanks .
Prospective Parent
The dedication to the young people of your school does not go unnoticed by parents and we are very grateful for the dedication to the students that your team have shown in switching so seamlessly to online learning. The online learning, specifically the Teams lessons, have been met with enthusiasm within our home.
Parent feedback during Remote Learning
As a parent, I have always appreciated the extra step Oakwood Park takes in looking after its students and yesterday’s meeting was another example of this, so thank you.
Parent Comment
Without fail, over the years every time we have left parents evenings we have commented on the lovely staff we have met, their commitment to their job and how they all make us feel they want the best for our sons, not just their own results.
Parent of two students in the school
He has really enjoyed all of his time and Oakwood and that journey will continue with the A-levels he has chosen to do. There is no question in our minds that this was always the right school for him.
