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.
Kingsmead Community School was judged outstanding in its Ofsted report.

Other information regarding secondary schools can be accessed via the Somerset County Council website.
