Oakgrove School Consultation
2023 Proposed Sixth Form admission arrangements for Oakgrove School
The Governing Body of Oakgrove School is currently consulting on the proposed Sixth Form admission arrangements for September 2023. Proposed changes relate to section 5 (page 3) only where an additional over-subscription criterion has been inserted giving a level of priority for admission to students who were on roll at Kents Hill Park School in Year 11 at the time of application to Year 12.
Oakgrove School and Kents Hill Park School are both part of the Kingsbridge Educational Trust. Both schools offer all-through provision with Oakgrove School catering for students through to 18 and Kents Hill Park School catering for students through to 16. Both schools already share some resources, systems and staff. Oakgrove School is looking to expand its curriculum links with Kents Hill Park School culminating in providing an elevated level of priority for Kents Hill Park School students to join Year 12 at Oakgrove School once they have completed their studies at Kents Hill Park School. The reason for this is that it would provide students from Kents Hill Park School with educational continuity and a clear destination for Post 16 provision. The additional students joining from Kents Hill Park School will allow Oakgrove to offer expanded curriculum opportunities and an overall enhanced post 16 experience which will benefit all the students, staff and wider community.
The Sixth Form admission arrangements consultation document can be viewed on the link below. Alternatively, if you would like to receive a paper copy of the document, please contact the Admissions Office on 01908 533710.
