Welcome to King’s Oak Academy website which helps you to find out information about the Academy. As Principal I am incredibly proud of the achievements of our students and staff in our first two years since joining the Cabot Learning Federation. We celebrated massive improvements in GCSE results this year. The Academy’s headline figure (% of students achieving 5 A* to C grades with English and Maths) leapt from 32% to 52%. This makes King’s Oak Academy one of the most improved schools in the country.  At the same time the number of top GCSE grades (A and A*) achieved by King’s Oak students have more than doubled.  We also celebrated significantly improved A Level results, with the proportion of passes increasing and the number of students achieving top A Level grades also nearly doubling. While dramatically improving the number of children achieving their 5 good grades with English and Maths, we have also ensured that the highest achieving students are challenged and achieve the highest grades possible. 

We are passionate about King’s Oak Academy providing an outstanding education for our students.  We are building a school that is academically successful and underpinned by the strong leadership, outstanding teaching and high quality pastoral care that come with being part of the CLF family. King’s Oak is a vibrant and energetic place, with enthusiastic students and dedicated staff. The teaching staff and associate staff work hard to ensure that we offer a personalised curriculum for our students within a supportive ethos and with high expectations of behaviour and responsibility.

CLF Internal Review: Fifteen months after opening, in November 2012, I commissioned a review. Its aim was to invite rigorous external scrutiny to support the Academy’s own quality assurance processes. The team of Cabot Learning Federation Senior Leaders focused specifically on the quality of teaching and the behaviour and safety of the students. The review consisted of  lesson observations, an assessment of the climate and behaviour during lessons, lunch and break times; meetings with staff and discussions with students from all years. The report  can be seen by following the link below. The findings of the review team were:

A. The quality of teaching is good   B. The behaviour and safety of the students is good
