Alleyn’s Oakfield, the nurturing independent school for children aged 4-11, has announced a small number of occasional vacancies for entry in 2026, offering families a rare opportunity to join the school and secure an assured pathway to Alleyn’s Senior School.
Known for its warm, values-led approach, Alleyn’s Oakfield provides a stimulating learning environment where children are encouraged to develop curiosity, confidence, and a genuine love of learning, both inside and beyond the classroom. The school welcomes children from all backgrounds and focuses on building strong foundations, academically, socially and emotionally, in a community shaped by respect, kindness and opportunity.
Children entering Alleyn’s Oakfield through this admissions process will receive an Assured Place at Alleyn’s Senior School. Pupils will still sit the scholarship or entrance examination and attend an interview in Year 6 alongside other candidates, but with the reassurance of a guaranteed progression route.
Applications are now open for a limited number of places at 5+ (current Reception), 6+ (current Year 1), 8+ (current Year 3) and 10+ (current Year 5). Assessments will take place in March 2026, with offers made before the end of the Spring Term. Successful applicants may start in April or September 2026 (September 2026 only for 6+), with start dates agreed with the school.
The application deadline for occasional vacancies is 25 February. Parents are encouraged to review the Junior School Admissions Policy and the Entrance Examination Concessions and Access Arrangements as part of the application process.
For families seeking a school where children are known, supported and inspired to become all they can be, Alleyn’s Oakfield offers an exceptional place to begin that journey.
