Oakbank Secondary Free School is a coeducational secondary school located in the hamlet of Ryeish Green (near Spencers Wood) in Berkshire, England. [1]
The first school on the site was Three Mile Cross Primary School, built in 1911. It originally taught pupils aged 5 to 14 years. Its first headmaster was Mr Reeley. After World War II, the school modernised, expanded and amalgamated with a school in Spencers Wood to become a senior school. The school later was renamed Ryeish Green School. [2]
Between 2002 and 2006, the school saw a reduction of approximately 150 students. In 2007, an independent candidate stood in the local council elections running on a Save Ryeish Green School ticket. Although both Labour and Liberal candidates stood down in favour of him, he fell a few votes short of the Conservative candidate who supported the school's closure.[ citation needed ] Wokingham Borough Council closed Ryeish Green in 2010.
In September 2012, Oakbank Secondary Free School, a free school opened on the site. [3] In 2024, the school was rated as 'inadequate' by the regulator, Ofsted. [4] In February 2025, it was announced that the school would be transferred to a new trust as a response to the Ofsted rating. [5]
