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.

Oakleigh House have had an amazing day pledging to give back for the global impact hour.

We even had our year 2’s cleaning our library in aid of giving back. ✨🌍

We are so thrilled to announce that Oakleigh House are the spelling bee champions for the second year running! 🐝📚

A huge well done to the whole team and in particular, to Mariam, who was the overall competition winner. 🏆

Here at Oakleigh House, we ensure that the children have a well-rounded education and opportunity to engage in a number of extra-curricular activities both in and out of the school. This event took place at St Clare's Preparatory School in Porthcawl and we were lucky enough to a fantastic panel of judges- poet and creative educator; Martin Daws, actor and screen writer, Karen Paullada and St Clares' Head student, Max. 👏

We believe that by embedding these opportunities, this equips our children with an extensive skill set from early age!
