Oak Tree Primary School is an acceptable school. Achievement is stronger in upper Primary and Foundation Stage than lower Primary, with weak Arabic first-language attainment. Teaching, assessment use, and self-evaluation need improvement. Leadership shows commitment to inclusion, but governance, self-evaluation and strategic direction require strengthening to raise student outcomes further.
