Oakfield Prep School

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.

While our name is changing, our vibrant culture and community remain at the heart of who we are. As Alleyn’s Oakfield, we’ll continue to provide joyful, holistic learning for children aged 3 to 11 enriched by the shared vision and educational philosophy of Alleyn’s School.

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.

Oakfield Prep Summer Art Show

Join us for a special evening celebrating our talented pupils artwork, inspired by this year’s theme: Landscapes & Cityscapes.

The night also features a charity art auction in support of Weldmar Hospicecare, who lovingly cared for former Oakfield Prep teacher Josh Lawrence and his family.

Donations of artwork from staff, parents & alumni are warmly welcomed—any style, any ability! To contribute, please speak to Ms Feeney or your child’s class teacher.

Children are welcome but must be supervised. We cannot wait to see you there!

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!

We are nuts about languages at Oakfield Prep! Did you know our pupils all start Spanish from the age of 2?

Between 5–20 May, 10,079 pupils from 326 primary schools across the UK took part in the Languagenut UK Primary Competition — and we're incredibly proud to announce that Oakfield Prep placed 19th nationally!

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!

Join us for the Oakfield Preparatory School Summer Fair 2025!

Get ready for an afternoon of family fun on Saturday 14th June, 12 – 4pm at Oakfield Prep!

Enjoy a fantastic line-up of workshops, stalls, bouncy castle, face painting, games and of course delicious food and refreshments — something for everyone to enjoy!

Bring your friends, bring your family — and don’t forget your sun hats! We look forward to welcoming you to Oakfield Prep.

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!

On 16 May, 12 of our talented athletes from Years 4–6 represented Oakfield Prep at the ISA London South Regional Athletics Event, competing alongside some of the best young athletes in South London.

A huge congratulations to the following pupils for their outstanding performances:
Theo (Year 5) – Silver in long jump and 65m sprint
Noor (Year 4) – Silver in the vortex throw
Alyssa (Year 5) – Silver in the 600m and qualified for the ISA National Athletics Final in Birmingham on 16 June!

We are so proud of all our pupils who took part and gave it their all — and we are cheering Alyssa on for the Nationals!

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!

We are off to Oxford University!

Oakfield Prep are National Finalists in the Quiz Club - General Knowledge Championships and will be heading to Oxford University for the grand final on 4th July 2025!

Out of 44 schools in the semi-finals, Oakfield Prep came 2nd — an amazing achievement we are so proud of! A huge thank you to our brilliant Teaching Assistant Julie White, who leads our Quiz Club and inspires our pupils every step of the way.

This half-term has roared passed!

From Trips to Spain and sailing boats in Rockley, to the Cricket festival, Maths challenge and Steel pan workshops, this has been a tremendous half-term of growth, and exploration across the School.

We wish all our pupils and their families a terrific half-term break, and we look forward to welcoming you back for the final half-term of the year, where we will be celebrating your many successes, accomplishments and trajectories for the year to come.

Have a wonderful holiday!
