Welcome to Alleyn's Oakfield

Head's Welcome

I am delighted to be joining Alleyn’s Oakfield at an exceptionally exciting time in the school’s history, as we continue to grow and thrive as a part of the Alleyn’s family. The excitement is palpable when you talk to the engaging, confident and fun-loving children who walk through the gates each morning.

Alleyn's Oakfield

Alleyn’s Oakfield is a place where children can be themselves and find their passions – both academically and outside the classroom – with the support of an outstanding team throughout their journey. 

Our lessons are designed with "wow" moments in mind, balancing academic rigour with creativity, exploration and discovery. We want children to be excited by learning, ask great questions and develop a genuine love of finding things out. Our dedicated staff are testament to the commitment and love of learning that unites our school community, where every effort is made to ensure that children can become All They Can Be.  

Oakfield has a rich and interesting history, having provided an exceptional education to generations of young learners for the last 140 years. Children at Alleyn's Oakfield benefit from the warmth and individual attention of a nurturing junior school setting as well as the ambition, expertise and opportunity that come from being part of – and going on to - one of London's leading schools: Alleyn’s School. 

We are firm believers that education is a collaboration and we love having parents on site, sharing in the life of the school and seeing what goes on each day. Please do take the opportunity to come and visit us – I know you will feel an unmistakeable buzz which is a certain sign that outstanding primary education is occurring all around you!  

Another Place to Grow

Learning here is rooted in curiosity and creativity, both in and beyond the classroom. Whether it’s through music, sport, drama or outdoor learning, children are given the space and support to discover their passions and develop their voice.
