Oakfield is a member of the Independent Schools Association.[2] With over 500 boys and girls aged between 2 and 11, it is housed in historic Georgian buildings either side of the South Circular at the junction with Croxted Road, and uses Dulwich Sports Club for football and rugby, and the swimming facilities at Dulwich Sports Centre.

For many years a senior school was run from the building on the south side of the road under the name of John Wycliffe Prep School, for 11-16 year olds.

It is currently a school rated 1.5 [IPA] out 5 by the Dulwich school district.
