Welcome to Oakleigh School and The Early Years Centre
"As the Headteacher of Oakleigh School and the Early Years Intervention Centre, I am passionate and committed to giving our children outstanding teaching and learning opportunities every day. 'Being the best we can be' isn’t just a school motto, it’s the very essence of the work the staff and our extended network of therapists and professionals aspire to for each and every child and family.
We ensure each child has an individualised teaching programme that includes a communication system and challenges them to achieve their maximum potential. Our goal apart from providing a strong foundation for learning is to ensure as much independence as possible to assist them in adult life. The extended team within the school works closely with families to ensure the continuity of progress each child makes. We pride ourselves in maintaining an Ofsted 'Outstanding' award along with a Gold Star Award for our school travel plan. Oakleigh School is committed to delivering the best we can to every child and the families that come here."

Online safety advice
Here are some places to go for advice for families with older children:
- If you need general online safety advice or help with parental control settings for your home internet or devices, why not call the NSPCC / O2 parent online-safety helpline on 0808 800 5002.
- There is an excellent tablet app from Internet Matters built to help parents have a conversation about online safety with their children. Just search Internet Matters on the app store.
- Search NSPCC NetAware on the app store for an excellent ‘app about apps’ with overviews of all the top sites, apps and games that your children play (but ask them first for an overview!).
- Look at parentsafe.lgfl.net to find links to all the above, plus family agreements (maybe avoid some arguments!), the latest screen time advice (there is screen time and screen time – you may be worrying too much) and more besides.
