Oakwood is a slightly larger than average-sized primary school located close to the centre of Plymouth. The school is part of a federation of two schools which was established in 2008. The partner school is Beechwood Primary School. The two schools are led by an executive headteacher and one board of governors. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are taught in two Reception classes. The pupils in the older age groups are taught in three Key Stage 1 classes, including one mixed-age class and six Key Stage 2 classes which include two mixed-age classes. The vast majority of pupils at Oakwood (94%) come from White British backgrounds. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium, which provides additional funding for children in local authority care and pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, is in line with the national average. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs supported at school action, school action plus or statements of special educational needs is similar to the national average. The school has met and exceeded the government’s floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. The current leadership structure was established in September 2010. The school operates a breakfast club which is situated on the school site. The school does not use alternative provision for any of its pupils.
