‘OakWell Education’ Is ‘On the Move’!

Hello, Cheshire — We Can't Wait to Meet You!

At 'OakWell Education', growth has always been at the heart of who we are — helping students thrive, supporting schools, organisations and businesses with warmth and expertise, and providing guidance that feels personal, steady, and genuinely transformative. Today, we're excited to share a new chapter in our story: 'OakWell Education' is relocating to Cheshire!

This move feels full of possibility. Cheshire is a place with vibrant communities, strong values, and a shared commitment to giving young people the very best opportunities. From the moment we explored the area, we felt a natural connection and knew it would be the right home for our next steps.

Even with this exciting move, we want to be very clear about something important: we are not forgetting the place where it all began. North Wales — its coastline, its countryside, and its wonderful schools, local businesses and families — will always remain central to 'OakWell Education'. Our roots are there, and our support will continue there. Whether in Cheshire or North Wales, we will offer the same care, expertise, and thoughtful guidance, both face to face and online, depending on what suits each student or organisation best.

As we expand into Cheshire, we are bringing with us the full breadth of our experience. Alongside our educational support, we are also able to assist local businesses and organisations with safeguarding needs, drawing on years of specialist knowledge to help create safe, informed environments for people.

Central to our work is our expertise in SEN; we specialise in sensitively identifying additional learning needs and offering the kind of tailored, compassionate support that helps students and their families feel understood, guided, and reassured from the very beginning. We see this work as profoundly important, because when additional learning needs are recognised early and supported appropriately, they do not limit what a person can achieve — in fact, they often unlock the confidence and clarity needed for students to flourish.

Within education itself, we understand how much students benefit from time and space to explore their thinking. Classroom lessons can offer inspiration and challenge, but they move quickly. Not every student gets the chance to grasp the deeper layers of literature or the complexities of psychological theory. Many need an opportunity to slow down, revisit difficult concepts, or simply talk through their ideas with someone who understands their subject inside and out. Often, a single conversation can relieve more worry than a week of silent struggling.

We have seen again and again how transformational these small, personalised moments can be. A fresh way of looking at a text can reignite enthusiasm; a clearer explanation of a theory can help everything click into place; understanding exactly what examiners look for can calm anxieties and restore confidence. These gentle shifts can turn uncertainty into capability, helping students feel grounded, focused, and hopeful.

Because 'OakWell Education' specialises in English Literature, Language and Psychology, we have been fortunate to guide students with a wide range of goals — from those wanting to feel more secure in their learning to those preparing for competitive university applications, including Oxbridge. 'OakWell Education' has experience as an examiner for AQA, Edexcel, and Cambridge which allows help for students to understand what exam boards reward and how to express their thinking in ways that truly represent their ability. It is insight we use quietly but meaningfully, helping students shape their ideas with clarity and confidence. We also bring extensive experience in entrance exam preparation and in supporting families with the particular demands of the private education system.

Alongside academic guidance, our coaching work has become an essential part of what we offer. Coaching provides a gentle, practical space where students can build life skills, develop resilience, and learn how to manage stress, anxiety, low confidence, or school refusal. It helps them understand themselves better, navigate challenges with more calm, and develop strategies that support both their wellbeing and their learning. These skills often become the foundation for long-term confidence — not just in education, but in life.

What excites us most about relocating to Cheshire is the opportunity to become part of the region's educational and community landscape. We look forward to meeting new schools, supporting local families, collaborating with businesses, and building relationships grounded in trust, expertise, and genuine care. Whether you already know 'OakWell Education' or are discovering us for the first time, we are ready to bring our experience, compassion, and commitment to you.

Our mission remains unchanged: to make a positive, meaningful difference for students, educators, families, local businesses and organisations. Moving to Cheshire simply gives us another wonderful place to continue this work, while still honouring and supporting the communities in North Wales where our journey began.

Over the coming weeks, we will share more as we settle in. For now, we simply want to say how grateful and excited we feel for this new beginning. Cheshire, we're on our way — and we can't wait to work with you.
