Oaklands prep school, Loughton - any good?

Hi, anyone willing to give an opinion on this school? Thinking of sending my 2 boys there when we move next year...thanks.

No, it's not good. Check leavers destinations.

I didn't think results were too bad considering they are a non-selective school at the outset. But it's difficult to judge from the figures because you can't see how many are getting their first choice schools. Aside from academic results, am wondering if school is friendly & social. We won't know people in the area & hoping the children will be able to have some playdates etc to help them settle. Some schools the kids are in such long hours this isn't possible.
