Oakfield CE Aided Primary School is a wonderful school on the outskirts of Ryde. We have an amazing outdoor space, which includes a forest school, outdoor classroom, extensive playing fields and a lane that runs alongside one side of the school grounds down to Appley Beach.
These special spaces are invaluable in supporting our children to grow both academically, whilst supporting their physical, social, emotional, moral and spiritual development.
