Welcome to Melksham Oak: we are a large 11-18 community school where children of all abilities, aptitudes and social backgrounds are nurtured, encouraged and challenged to achieve their best.

I am very proud to lead such a wonderful team of staff who work tirelessly to ensure that our students are ambitious and motivated to succeed.

As a school, we aim to provide a world class education experience for all our students and develop them as global citizens who are prepared to overcome the challenges of tomorrow.

Whilst academic success is vitally important for all our students to help enhance their life chances in the future, we believe that school is also about nurturing confident young learners who are resilient, tolerant of others, proud of their own achievements and determined to be the best they possibly can be.

To this end, we pride ourselves on the individual support, advice and guidance which all our students receive. Every child, whilst part of a large school community, is supported as an individual and encouraged to reach their full potential.

Melksham Oak is a thriving, expanding secondary school in the heart of the Melksham community; I encourage you to arrange a visit if you would like to have a look for yourself.
