About this school
Oaklands Mead Academy is a special academy in Leicester. It teaches children aged 4 to 11.
Ofsted has not yet inspected Oaklands Mead Academy under its current framework. Numbers and a report only go so far, so visit in person before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
Oaklands Mead Academy has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in September 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was Oaklands School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: Oaklands School (closed August 2026)
Confirmed by a short inspection, not a full one
Ofsted's most recent visit was a short inspection on 14 February 2024, where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good and saw signs of improvement; a full inspection will follow. The school's last full inspection took place before September 2019, so its area grades are not part of Ofsted's current published data. Older reports are on the school's Ofsted page.
