A Brief History of Oaks Park

Oaks Park High School was built under the private finance initiative (PFI) to alleviate the growing shortfall of places in schools within the Borough. The school opened on Friday 7 September 2001 with an initial intake of 180 students. In May/June 2006 the school saw the first cohort of students take their GCSE examinations. The Sixth Form opened in September 2006 and Oaks Park became a Specialist Music School at the same time. Oaks Park is now one of the largest schools in Redbridge. There are 1260 students in the main school and it is heavily oversubscribed. The Sixth Form is over 580 strong and has quickly become established within Redbridge and beyond. In 2011 Oaks Park was designated a Fronter Champion School in recognition of the work we have carried out on our Managed Learning Environment.
