Pupils in this school learn exceptionally well. They study a vibrant and challenging curriculum and produce high-quality work. The school's motto 'Great Expectations for All' is imbued with the ambition that all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), do well. Pupils respond very well to these expectations. They show strong interest in their learning and work extremely hard in class. Pupils achieve high outcomes by the end of key stage 2 in reading, writing and mathematics, ensuring that they are very well prepared for their next stage of education. The school's values of 'courage, respect and grace' are exemplified by staff and pupils equally well. Pupils' behaviour in their lessons and attitudes to learning are impeccable. Pupils know that adults will listen to them if they have any worries. Pupils feel happy, safe and secure. As a result, they achieve highly and excel as individuals. Pupils benefit from the school's enrichment provision. They enjoy a wide range of educational visits and other special events. Pupils enjoy being young journalists, authoring 'The Oakley Doakley' magazine. They are very proud of their school.
