An independent reviewer has described Oak Hill as healthier than it was, according to the Church Times, which was leaked a summary and “lessons learned”.

It follows the March 2023 resignation of Johnny Juckes as Principal of the college after five years in post. The review aimed to assess Oak Hill’s organisational health, governance, leadership and strategic alignment. It was commissioned one year on from the appointment of James Robson as Principal and conducted by an independent reviewer with experience in Christian organisational culture.

The Church Times said the review called for “restoration, forgiveness and healing” and that the college was in a “significantly healthier place than it was 18 months ago”. en understands that the completed review, which was internal and never intended for public release, was in fact given to Oak Hill seven months ago, though its details have only just been leaked to the Church Times.
