Oak Tree School is part of the Maiden Erlegh Trust Special & AP Hub which connects specialist teams across the Trust.  The school, based in Winnersh, is a calm, inclusive and aspirational learning environment where relationships come first, curiosity is encouraged, and every learner is supported to succeed on their own terms.

From Year 1 to Year 13, pupils benefit from a personalised curriculum that combines academic learning with personal development, delivered by skilled and compassionate staff. High expectations, consistent routines and integrated support help children and young people to feel safe, valued and ready to thrive.

Everything at Oak Tree School is underpinned by the values of community, inclusion and respect. The school works closely with families and professionals to create an environment where every child is encouraged to be themselves, aim high and take pride in their achievements.

Established in September 2023, Oak Tree School is the result of a strong partnership between Brighter Futures for Children, Reading Borough Council, Wokingham Borough Council and Maiden Erlegh Trust, created in response to the growing need for specialist places within local communities.

Oak Tree School provides high-quality, specialist education for up to 150 learners with Education Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). Many pupils are autistic and may also experience Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN).

Oak Tree School also plays an active role in the Maiden Erlegh Trust Special & Alternative Provision Hub, collaborating with staff across settings and offering outreach to support inclusive practice in local schools.

We would love to hear from you if you believe you can contribute positively to our students and wider school community.
