About The Oak Partnership Trust

Welcome to our Trust The Oak Partnership Trust is a family of schools that cater for children and young people from 2 – 19 years old. Established on 1st January 2019 with a clear purpose of being an inclusive community of schools which inspires a passion for knowledge and the courage and confidence to fly. Our Trust consists of seven settings: We have two Nursery provisions – Woodland’s Nursery on the Ruishton site and Little Heron’s Nursery on the West Monkton site. Gemma Maxwell, our Strategic Lead for early Years, has a clear vision for what our pre-school offer needs to be so that our children have the very best start to their educational career. There is also a sharp focus on the early knowledge and skills required to enable those children to best transition into school in Reception. We have Special School provision across two sites – Oakhill Campus provides specialist provision for primary aged learners and Hazelbrook Campus provides specialist provision for secondary aged learners and into Sixth Form. Mark Ruffett, Executive Headteacher, Andy Holden, Oakhill Head of School, and Stuart Lambert, Hazelbrook Head of School, have a clear vision for how they meet the needs of learners with a range of learning difficulties. Over the time we have been a Trust, we have grown to understand what our Special School settings can learn from our Mainstream School settings and what expertise our Special Schools can offer, to ensure that our entire Trust is truly inclusive. We have three Primary schools – Blackbrook Primary School is a Community Primary, with West Monkton and Ruishton both Church of England schools. Just as our Special School leaders work closely together, so do our Primary Heads – James Blackmore, West Monkton; Barney Rycroft, Blackbrook; and Helen Newstead, Ruishton; work closely together to identify areas in which they can collaborate.
