Oakfield Preparatory School is an independent coeducational preparatory school in West Dulwich, Lambeth.[1] in the United Kingdom

Oakfield is a member of the Independent Schools Association.[2] Over 350 boys and girls aged between 2 and 11 are enrolled at the school.

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.

As with many other surrounding locations, pupils were evacuated during World War II because of the threat of bombing.[3]
