Oakmoor School is a brand new, state of the art secondary school situated in a 22 acre tree lined site on the edge of the South Downs National Park. We are a friendly, vibrant school with high standards and expectations. We pride ourselves on knowing every young person as an individual and challenging each of them to have the highest possible aspirations.
The Oakmoor ethos is encapsulated by our motto: Ambition, Determination, Excellence, Integrity, Kindness, Respect. Students at Oakmoor display excellent behaviour in lessons and around the school. Teachers plan highly engaging lessons tailored to the needs of our students allowing high levels of progress to be enjoyed.
Students benefit from a wealth of extra-curricular activities, including trips and visits to enrich their experience at our school. We benefit from cutting edge technology throughout the site and the latest specialist equipment for key areas such as science, technology and performing arts.
Our main buildings surround a central court yard which includes covered areas for outside dining and seating areas outside of the learning resource centre for reading at break and lunch times.
