Train to Teach

We are an established School Direct training school, this is done through the Oriel ITT partnership.

We have also joined the i2i teaching partnership which is a School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) programme leading to both QTS and PGCE for aspiring secondary school teachers.

If you are considering training to teach then we would highly recommend a School Experience Day. On a school Experience day you can expect to spend time in classrooms meeting staff and students. There will also be opportunities to talk through the routes into teaching and the application process. School Experience days are offered by on selected Monday’s and Tuesday’s throughout the year or by special arrangement. Please contact us to book at train@oakwood.surrey.sch.uk

I like Oakwood School because there is a variety of subjects. I love to read and 'Drop Everything and Read' really helps my writing to develop more.

Oakwood School has given me many opportunities to flourish. I love all subjects because my teachers are passionate about their subjects. Oakwood provides a wide range of extra-curricular activities, with dedicated staff who strive to bring out the best in everyone. The teachers at Oakwood are supportive and they have helped me learn many new skills in all my subjects. Oakwood has given me many opportunities to meet and make new lifelong friends.

Miss Selsby

Miss Selsby

Teacher of Humanities
As a student, the teachers of Oakwood were very motivating and why I am a teacher today. My route into teaching was straightforward. I volunteered one day a week at Oakwood, working with students and spending time in lessons, reinforcing why I wanted to go into the profession. Oakwood offering the Schools Direct Route into teaching was appealing. I was aware I would get support from all areas of the school community. I can’t wait to see where the rest of my journey with Oakwood will go.

Mr Hughes

Subject leader for Creative Arts
I arrived at Oakwood in 2010 to teach Art and Design and soon realised I had found a community I wanted to be part of. Oakwood is a school that responds and changes with the times. My favourite thing about being a teacher here is the freedom to be innovative. When we realised that students needed to learn about new technologies in Art there was no hesitation in creating our Photography GCSE which is now my great pleasure to teach.
