At Oakwood Park a large number of subjects are taught at GCSE and AS/A2 level. We are a specialist Mathematics and Computing College offering Mathematics, Further Mathematics and both ICT and Computing at Advanced level. In addition we also offer Media Studies, Film Studies, Theatre Studies and Graphics at Advanced level as well as the more traditional subjects.
	There are two points in their time at Oakwood Park that students have to make decisions about their choice of subjects. These occur in year 9 when they choose their year 10 options and at the end of year 11, when students need to decide what they want to study in the sixth form. The school publishes a year 10 options booklet and a sixth form subjects booklet to help students make these decisions. These can be downloaded by clicking on the following links.

Oakwood Park School offers a large number of different AS and A2 level courses in the sixth form. Details can be found under different departments but for easy reference you can download the Sixth Form Subject Booklet by clicking on the link below.

Oakwood Park Grammar School is a Specialist School in Mathematics and Computing. The Specialist Schools Programme helps schools, in partnership with private sector sponsors and supported Government funding, to establish distinctive identities through their chosen specialisms and achieve their targets to raise standards. We have a special focus in Mathematics and Computing but still meet the National Curriculum requirements and deliver a broad and balanced education to all pupils.

The Programme promotes school improvement by providing opportunities for our school to work to our strengths, enabling us to deliver effective teaching and learning in our area of expertise, as well as across the curriculum, and drive innovation.

As a Specialist School we work with named partner schools for the benefit of pupils beyond our own boundary, together with other groups of people in the wider community. This ensures that the programme has impact by helping to create a diverse network of educational provision through the sharing of good practice and expertise.
