Oakfields Preparatory School, located in Upminster within a historic Grade II-listed building and surrounded by seven acres of beautiful grounds, provides a unique blend of tradition and innovation for children aged 2½ to 11. With small class sizes and a dedicated teaching team, we ensure each child receives the nurturing and personalised attention needed to thrive academically and emotionally.

Our bespoke curriculum upholds high academic standards while embracing the importance of childhood. It’s designed to foster a love of learning, curiosity, and creativity, preparing our students to engage with challenges beyond the classroom. Celebrating diversity and promoting inclusion, we create a welcoming and supportive culture where every child feels valued and develops the confidence to succeed.

Our students achieve excellent results, consistently performing above the national average and gaining admission to prestigious Senior Schools like Brentwood, Wycombe Abbey, Sevenoaks, and Benenden. In addition, our extracurricular offerings in music, languages, and sports provide diverse pathways for discovery, including recent medal-winning achievements in athletics.

Our Early Years Village, opened in 2022, offers our youngest learners an inspiring environment with a playground, orchard, mud kitchen, and bright classrooms that support creativity and discovery.

Under the leadership of our Headteacher, Matthew Booth, we are furthering our commitment to academic excellence, teacher empowerment, and student engagement. Our approach to education focuses on developing curious, compassionate, and confident individuals who are ready to make a positive impact on the world.
