100+ Years Transformational Education

Oaklands College has a rich history of delivering innovative, transformative education since opening its doors in 1921. Over the years, we have equipped students with the skills and knowledge needed to achieve their personal goals and positively impact their communities.

Our college remains forward-thinking, offering a variety of centres of excellence across key areas including SEND provision, Sport, Engineering, Care, Early Years, and the Creative Industries. These specialised programmes allow us to provide tailored education that meets the needs of our diverse student body.

As a college, we are continually striving to expand our reach and reputation. While we have long been a vital part of the Hertfordshire community, we are now positioned to grow beyond local significance, establishing ourselves as a leading educational institution both regionally and nationally. Our ambition drives us to maintain high standards of education and support, ensuring every student is prepared for success in their chosen field.
