HISTORY OF OAKE AND BRADFORD SCHOOLThe school, originally called Hillfarrance Oake and Heathfield Board school, was built in1879. It was renamed Oake Primary school in 1961. In 1984 Bradford school closed and was amalgamated with Oake school becoming Oake and Bradford County Primary school. The familiar Victorian school building is still very much part of the new school.
From Oake and Bradford school pupils progress to one of the secondary schools in the area. The majority go to Kingsmead Community School and Court Fields Community School. Other information regarding secondary schools can be accessed via the Somerset County Council website.
The painting of Oake station in the playground is by Jim Clapton and the PTA bought the train The environment is an important part of education and the children are encouraged to look after both the school garden and the local area.
All the children were involved in the design of the stained glass window under the guidance of Avril Silk a stained glass artist who made the window.
