Our academic timetable highlights the emphasis we place on the development of Mathematics and literacy. Consistent effort is also made to develop young minds and good study habits. Cultural and artistic awareness is never neglected and students become experienced in forming and developing their own opinions over current affairs through daily discussions and debates over both key national and worldwide concerns. We take care that, whether during lessons or in assemblies, students participate in discussions and debates in which opposing views are presented in a balanced way and students are encouraged to form their own views on the basis of a wide range of accurate facts. Workshops, school council meetings and assemblies are held on a regular basis to ensure political views are not promoted in any subject. School trips and excursions are organised to enhance this exposure, implanting the seeds for well-rounded personal growth. Oak Heights avoids the straight approach of learning solely for the purpose of passing relevant examinations and strives to implement innovative, fresh and cutting-edge methods of teaching so as to encourage broad-minded mentality and comprehension. Each student has their own special talents – some are brilliant at sport, others in drama and a few just have the innate ability to debate over anything and everything affecting society today. Individuality is cherished in a way that allows the students to think for themselves and pursue their interests and strengths and ultimately, build upon their self-confidence.
