Oakfield Prep School

Oakfield Prep School Oakfield Prep is an independent school for boys and girls aged 2 - 11. As a caring community, Oakfield is proud of its diverse ethnicity.

We are a welcoming and nurturing school passionate about helping every child be the best that they can be. We are proud to educate children from every race, colour and creed and every combination of the same. We are strong as a result of our diversity. This goes beyond the classroom, beyond the playground and into the lives of all who are proud to be part of a school that is very much at the heart of Dulwich. Everyone at Oakfield works to create an atmosphere in which pupils are valued and actively encouraged to progress both academically and socially. We also try to develop in them a real sense of traditional values, especially courtesy and respect for others, which will enable them to become responsible and considerate members of society. We believe in open minds and clear values. Inspirational schools are not just about fine facilities: they are about real people. At Oakfield, our teachers are our most valuable asset. They understand that children need to be enthused; that they often need individual support; and that they benefit hugely from opportunities beyond the classroom which stimulate them in body and spirit. Exciting opportunities for sport, music, drama, art and technology add to the excellent extra- and co-curricular offerings that make Oakfield a way of life for all. Oakfield is proud of its 125 year old history in Dulwich: members of our community, past and present, bear witness to the ideals that we hold dear at Oakfield, which inspire all our children to be the very best that they can be.

From September 2025, Oakfield Prep becomes Alleyn’s Oakfield.

We’re proud to be joining the Alleyn’s Schools Group, a dynamic and distinguished family of schools rooted in the rich heritage of Alleyn's School in South London.

Together with Alleyn’s Junior School, we’ll offer an exceptional start to every child’s journey built on curiosity, care and a deep love of learning.

📍Same place. New possibilities.
Welcome to Alleyn’s Oakfield.

Our Year 4 pupils had a brilliant hands-on session learning how to make their own fresh bread as part of the Adopt a Chef programme, delivered by our amazing onsite team from Harrison Catering.

This session is part of the Chefs Adopt a School Trust — an initiative that helps children build healthy eating habits, understand where their food comes from and get a taste of the hospitality industry, all while developing a lifelong appreciation for cooking and sustainability.

A big thank you to the team from Harrison Catering Services and Chefs adopt a school for such a fun and enriching experience!

In May, our Year 4 pupil Beatrice joined Year 5 Tutor and Head of Mathematics and STEM, Mrs Lambert-Carter, to take on the incredible 15-mile Banham Marsden March — walking from Chelsea to Sutton between The Royal Marsden’s two hospitals.

The Banham Marsden March is the flagship fundraising event for The The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, supporting life-saving research and care. Thousands take part each year, and we are so proud of our Oakfield Prep representatives for stepping up to the challenge!

A huge congratulations to both Beatrice and Mrs Lambert-Carter for this amazing achievement and for showing such strength, spirit and community support.

Our Year 4 pupils recently had an unforgettable experience with a visit from ZooLab, who brought along a fascinating range of creatures for a truly hands-on learning session!

From scorpions to snakes, and all forms of creepy crawlies, the children were captivated by their scaled and many-legged visitors — learning all about their native habitats, behaviours and unique features. It was a brilliant way to bring science to life and spark our pupils curiosity for our natural environment through real-world encounters!

This fantastic result reflects the hard work, enthusiasm and language-learning passion of our pupils and their dedicated teachers. A huge congratulations to everyone who took part — what a brilliant achievement!

On 23 May, we welcomed our new Early Years and Foundation Stage starters — along with their parents and their favourite teddies — for a joyful Teddy Bear Picnic!

Our guests enjoyed a sunny afternoon of outdoor activities, group play and a magical storytime under the sun. We also tucked into a delicious picnic and practised those all-important skills like sharing and making new friends.

It was a wonderful first step into life at Oakfield Prep, and we cannot wait to welcome our newest pupils back this September!

Un viaje inolvidable!

A few weeks ago, our year 6 pupils returned from an unforgettable trip to Spain, where they immersed themselves in the language and culture while exploring some truly fascinating places.

From asking for directions in Spanish to shopping for local treats, the children made the most of every opportunity to practise their language skills with confidence and enthusiasm.

One highlight was taking the ferry to Cádiz, where the group was captivated by the camera obscura and its breath-taking panoramic views. The day ended in true Spanish style — with a delicious meal and a Spanish-language film under the stars.

It was a fantastic experience filled with learning, laughter and lasting memories. ¡Qué experiencia tan maravillosa!
