Exam Results 2022
We have described the achievements of our year 11 and year 14 pupils below. Some of this information is required by the Department for Education and Ofsted. If you have any comments or queries about the information on this page or would like any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
During the previous academic year (20/21) our Y11 pupils did not sit externally set exams due to Coronavirus. Instead we were asked to submit teacher assessment grades. These grades were based on our knowledge of the pupils, their performance in unit tests, mock exams and their course work. This year pupils did sit some formal exams, the Government has said that due to the uneven impact of the pandemic one should not make direct comparisons between performance data from previous years. This is not usually an issue for The Oaks as the needs of our pupils vary year on year.
At the start of the school year there were 49 pupils in y11, 55% of whom were considered disadvantaged, 18% of pupils were Looked After. All pupils gained at least one external accreditation or qualification. We are very proud to be a school for pupils with Special Educational Needs and have high expectations for all of our pupils. We aim to provide a breadth of opportunity and encourage high levels of participation. All pupils had their progress recognised and celebrated and were able achieve external accreditation.
