Welcome to Oakleigh
House School



With a century of dedicated commitment to education, we proudly stand as the only independent preparatory school in Swansea, South Wales. We nurture the development of young minds, beginning at the age of 2 ½ in our Nursery programme. Guiding them through the dynamic and challenging primary years until the age of 11, where we prepare them for the transition to secondary education.

Our enduring tradition of excellence has empowered generations of pupils to embark on successful journeys in the world, setting a strong foundation for their future endeavours.

Building Confidence

Our fundamental purpose at Oakleigh House is to provide a school where children feel happy and safe to learn and explore. It is only from this position of feeling happy and safe that children are able to thrive with confidence, and this is what we want for every child in our care.


Building Character

We encourage our children to take pride in everything they do, to have high expectations of themselves and to celebrate their achievements. This is done through exposing them to a wide variety of opportunities which allow them to discover their unique talents.


Building Resilience

Our children are provided with a bespoke education through a lively, stimulating and varied learning environment which provides them with challenge at their level and inculcates in them a growth mindset and resilience to face the challenges life will inevitably present.

We are recognising 'World Children's Day' at Oakleigh House School and Nursery. This day is about promoting international togetherness and improving children's welfare. The theme for this year's 'World Children's Day' is 'For every child, every right'. It emphasises the importance of ensuring that every child has access to fundamental rights, including education, healthcare, protection and a safe environment. 

Here at Oakleigh House, our classes have been learning about this in their PSHE classes, in addition to being the focus of our KS2 assembly this week.

Lest We Forget. 

At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, the Armistice was signed, bringing an end to the Great War.

Today, Oakleigh House School took time to honour and remember the bravery, resilience, and dedication of those who served. Our Year 5 and 6 classes joined a remembrance service at our local church alongside Ffynone House School, united in reflection.

Throughout the school, each year group engaged in activities to explore the meaning of Armistice Day and why we remember. Our youngest students, in Reception, thoughtfully crafted poppies and added them to heartfelt poppy poems, sharing in this tradition of remembrance.
