Oakwood Park Grammar School is a Boys’ Selective Grammar School which is co-educational in the 6th Form. Entry at Year 7 is by the Kent Tests; competitive entry exams in Maths, English and Verbal Reasoning. This means that we are educating pupils in the top 25% ability range in the county.
There is a wealth of extra-curricular opportunities with a strong sporting tradition (football, rugby and cricket), Drama (an annual production), Music (regular concerts) and high standards in Art, Graphics and Design Technology with students’ work readily on display for all to see. We also have a successful Duke of Edinburgh programme with on average 60-70 students in Year 11 completing their Bronze award and an increasing number achieving Silver in the 6th Form.
The curriculum is a traditional grammar school one. The EBACC is compulsory at Key Stage 4, which has recently returned to a two-year programme of study. The creative subjects are, however, well represented (by Art, Music, Drama, PE and DT) with Psychology and Media Studies also available. All pupils take a full course in Religious Studies, something we are very proud of.
