We're incredibly proud that The Oaks Specialist College has been recognised as a Microsoft Beacon.

ONE OF ONLY 20 IN THE WORLD and the only SEND provision to be included!

This recognition celebrates organisations that are using technology in innovative, inclusive and impactful ways to improve outcomes for learners.

For us, it is a powerful acknowledgement that SEND colleges and specialist settings are not simply following the conversation about technology and education, but helping to lead it.

At The Oaks, accessibility and inclusion is not an add-on. It is at the heart of how we support learners to communicate, learn, work and live independently. By using everyday technology, assistive tools and AI in meaningful ways, we create bespoke learning experiences that remove barriers and open opportunities.

Being named a Microsoft Beacon School demonstrates that inclusion drives innovation. It shows that specialist schools and colleges have a vital role in shaping the future of education, accessibility and employment, ensuring disabled learners are equipped with the skills, confidence and technology they need to thrive long after they leave our settings.

📦📦📦 Last week Learning for Life fulfilment crew took their first completed pallet of work back to Royal British Veterans Enterprise

This project proves how our learners with complex needs can be productive and actuate and have work built into their daily lives.

Thank you to Royal British Veterans Enterprise for trusting us with your contracts and adjusting your parameters to make this work.

This week starts another new pallet with a now experienced workforce!

⚽️After a couple of years in the making, we are delighted to share that the Tonbridge PAN Disability Football Team has officially played its very first tournament.

This is a fantastic milestone and one that would not have been possible without the support of the Tonbridge Foundation and staff at the Tonbridge Angels FC working in partnership with the Oaks football fanatics to make an accessible football team for everyone in the community, all who helped to get the team up and running and supported our vision of creating an accessible local football team that is open to everybody in the community.

Together, we have helped create an opportunity that we hope will be available for years to come, giving our young adults a chance to participate in competitive sport, develop friendships, build confidence and be part of something that can last a lifetime.

The first fixture came together at very short notice, so I would like to give a particularly big well done to Miles, Adam, Kye and Marcus for proudly becoming the first ever Tonbridge players to represent the team in competition.

The matches were highly competitive, and the team rose brilliantly to the challenge. To top it all off, they secured an excellent victory against Charlton, making the day even more memorable.

This is just the beginning of what we hope will be a long and successful journey for the team. Thank you again to everyone who has played a part in making this happen.

They say it takes a village to build a community, but it takes visionary partners like Tesco to truly transform one.

We are incredibly grateful for their ongoing support of our mini Tesco and the learners who work their daily shifts there. This kind of experience really does shape futures.

Along with supporting our shop, Tesco also provide avenues into paid employment and supported work programmes, workplace visits and professional encounters.

Thank you from the entire team here for your generosity, your belief in our mission, and for proving that business can be a powerful force for good!
