Healthy Schools Award

This award recognises not only the teaching of the healthy schools curriculum but also the emotional, physical and learning environment that the school provides.

Artsmark Award

Oakdene has been awarded the Artsmark award to celebrate our commitment to the arts.

The Artsmark is a national award scheme that recognises schools with a high level of provision in the arts. Artsmark provides a benchmark for arts provision which encourages schools to consider the opportunities they offer in art, dance, drama and music.

By gaining an Artsmark a school shows its commitment to the wider development of young people and teachers and to raising the profile of the arts in the school and local community.
