At Oakley School, we offer Outreach services to local, maintained Primary and Secondary schools. This support can be accessed via the Local Inclusion Form Team (LIFT) as part of the Tunbridge Wells Local Offer.

We work in partnership with the Specialist Teaching and Learning Service (STLS) based at Broomhill Bank School. Please visit https://www.broomhillbank.org.uk/1336/stls to find out more about STLS.

The Oakley Outreach Offer includes:

• Outreach visits: one of our highly experienced SEND teachers visits a mainstream setting to provide them with advice and suggested strategies to support children’s learning and well-being
• In-reach visits: colleagues at local mainstream schools are invited to spend time at Oakley School to observe strategies, visuals and supports used within our classrooms
• School to School support: we provide whole school support, training and workshops. We work closely with SENCos, Leadership Teams, Teachers and support staff to upskill them and promote inclusion
• SENCo Open Evenings and Workshops
• Outreach from our Specialist Nursery (https://www.oakleyschool.co.uk/specialist-nursery/)
• Attendance at LIFT meetings

If you have any questions or would like to get in contact with the Oakley Outreach team, please email outreach@oakley.kent.sch.uk 

Mainstream Core Standards

The standards detail the provision that the local area expects to be made available for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and/or disabilities attending mainstream schools and provides guidance for schools, parent/carers and professionals working with children and young people.
