Oaklands Roman Catholic Comprehensive School and Sixth Form College is a co-educational secondary school and sixth form college with academy status located in Waterlooville, Hampshire. [2] It opened in 1966, although its history can be traced back to 1902. Around 1400 students attend the school with over 150 in the Sixth Form. Oaklands has been a Specialist Humanities College since September 2005.

Buildings

The school consists of seven different blocks, mainly separated into different subject groups. There have been an extensive site improvement programme seeing the replacement of prefabricated buildings with purpose designed brick-built buildings. The three new blocks consist of a new music block, Humanities block (Formerly C block, now John Paul II block) and Sixth Form Block. Each of these blocks has been built in a similar style, often incorporating a cross in different coloured bricks. 2012 has seen a major refurbishment of the Maths/Science block with Maths moving to A Block and the labs being update in three phases with completion eventually around Summer 2013. [1]

Uniform

The school uniform was redesigned for the September 2009 academic year; the expense of the uniform caused controversy. [3] A press release was released on the school website claiming many of the facts written by the newspaper articles were incorrect, and that the uniform was very hard wearing due to its materials. [4] As a response to the controversy, the school started a nearly new uniform shop where the uniform could be brought cheaper.
