Oak Lodge School continues to demonstrate good performance. The supportive environment, characterized by strong relationships between staff and pupils, enables students to thrive personally and academically. The curriculum is well-structured, and there is a strong focus on reading, which contributes positively to pupils' confidence and engagement. Nevertheless, there are areas for improvement in how some subjects, particularly science and art, outline the specific knowledge needed for students to enhance their understanding of concepts. This inspection marks the first ungraded evaluation since the school was last deemed good in December 2017, considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
