The Trust and the Leadership Team of Oakway Academy (OA) propose to increase the age range of the school from admitting pupils from 4 – 11 years of age to admitting pupils from 2 – 11 years of age. This is to take effect from September 2026. The proposed change ensures that the already close working relationship between Oakway Nursery and Oakway Academy is formalised. The proposal allows Oakway Academy to increase its age range and formally take on responsibility for Oakway Nursery pupils, staff and families from September 2026.

All current and future parents and any other interested stakeholders can make comments on this proposal. The consultation will run from 1st December to 22nd December 2025. All parents are invited to submit comments in writing about the proposal. If you would like to contribute to the consultation, please complete the Stakeholder & Parent Response Form below. You can also find more information about the proposal in the Significant Change Letter – Parent, and the Significant Change Letter – Stakeholder.
