Did you ever hear about a school built on the site of a former lodge? Oatlands School in Weybridge has such a story. It stands on the very ground where Kensington Lodge once graced the landscape. Now, it’s a vibrant hub for young learners aged 5 to 7. The school is deeply rooted in the community. Staff, parents, and locals collaborate to create enriching experiences for the children. Their motto, “Living our values, Learning for life,” isn’t just a phrase. Values are woven into the curriculum, shaping the Oatlands identity. The school aims to nurture happy, confident, and inspired learners. Every day is a chance to grow and learn. The school can accommodate up to 270 pupils. Imagine the energy within those walls. In January 2025, 270 children filled the classrooms, with about 5.6% of them eligible for free school meals. Mrs. Tanya Mooney leads the school as Head Teacher. The governing body includes dedicated individuals like Charles Langley (Chair), Hilary Butler, and several others, all working to ensure the school’s success. This isn’t the first school to exist in Oatlands. The very first one opened in 1862. It still serves the community today, as the Oatlands Pre-School, within the Oatlands Village Hall. It’s a remarkable link to the past, showing the enduring importance of education in this area. Oatlands School carries on that legacy, nurturing young minds and shaping future generations.
