Happy weekend, everyone. As we look ahead to next week, the weather is due to get warmer. Please can we ask that all pupils come to school with a hat and sun cream each day, so we can help keep everyone safe and comfortable.

A huge thank you to our amazing teachers and support staff who make a difference every day through their dedication, compassion and expertise. We appreciate all you do for our students and community.

Our memorial tree is looking beautiful in the sunshine today.

We have added a leaf in memory of each member of our school community who is no longer with us, creating a lasting tribute to those we have lost.

If you would like to add a leaf in remembrance of a loved one who attended Oakfield Park School, please contact reception for further details.

You are also warmly invited to visit the tree please contact reception to arrange a suitable time.
