New residential accommodation which opened in 2020.

Residential The college has a limited number of residential accommodation spaces available for students who live further afield. Should you wish to apply for residential accommodation at the College, this should be included in the online application when prompted. Detailed residential application packs will then be distributed for completion and places will be allocated in June. Scholarships & Bursaries We have a scholarship fund which helps support gifted players with living, travel or kit costs. Scholarship allocations are assessed and offered on an individual basis, and fulfilling the eligibility criteria does not necessarily guarantee an offer of a scholarship. Additionally for students from low-income families, financial support may be available to support with these costs. For more information, contact us via email at info@oaklands.ac.uk or call 01727 737000.

Joel Kpoku

BTEC Extended Diploma in Sport

“I really enjoyed the course as it required a lot of hard work and dedication which suited me. It stretched me as a player and developed me as a person. Coaches are always available if I wanted to do extras or go through video or lineout calls for example, coaches were always on hand to help with my studies. I found that the rugby programme at Oaklands College allowed me to express myself better and as a result, I am far more confident both on and off the pitch.” Since finishing his course at Oaklands, Joel has gone on to sign a professional contract with Premiership Rugby champions; Saracens, whilst also featuring for England Under 20s and being selected for senior England training.
