Gaming is a huge part of many young people's lives, but some online features can blur the line between gaming and gambling in ways that aren't always obvious.

Our latest guide explains what skin betting is, why it's becoming more common, and how parents, carers and educators can help children stay safe online.

The guide covers:

• What skin betting is and how it works
• Why virtual in-game items can have real-world value
• The risks of unregulated third-party platforms
• Social pressure and influencer promotion
• Warning signs to look out for
• Practical steps to reduce the risks through conversations and parental controls

🎉 Oakfield Fun Day! 🎉
Today, Oakfield came together to enjoy our annual Fun Day as we prepare for the last day of term tomorrow.
From exciting games and creative activities to plenty of laughter and smiles, it was a fantastic way to celebrate another successful year together. A huge thank you to all the staff who helped make the day so special for our pupils.
Here’s a glimpse of just a few of the activities on offer. We hope you enjoy looking through the photos as much as we enjoyed making the memories! 🌞🎈

As we approach the final day of the school year, we wish all of our pupils, families, and staff a safe and enjoyable summer break, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back for the new academic year in September.

Last week, our new Year 7s spent time getting to know life at Oakfield and discovering what our school is all about.

They enjoyed a fantastic week packed with exciting activities, including parachute games, creating clay fairy doors and Fimo fruit, cycling, baking, and even learning the ancient Chinese game of Jianzi!

It was wonderful to see so many new friendships beginning to form, and we hope these first experiences at Oakfield have helped everyone feel excited and confident about starting with us in September.

We can’t wait to welcome you all back as part of the Oakfield family! 💙

Nothing beats digging up the season’s first homegrown potatoes. Fresh from the garden and well worth the wait. Here’s to another great growing season! 🌿😊

☕ Celebrating a Successful Year 7 Parent Transition Coffee Morning!

On Monday 6th July, we were delighted to welcome families to our Year 7 Parent Transition Coffee Morning. It was a fantastic opportunity for parents and carers to meet members of staff, access helpful advice, and find out more about the support available for their children and families as they prepare for the transition to secondary school.

A huge thank you to our partner agencies for joining us and sharing their valuable knowledge and resources, including the School Nursing Team, Aim Higher, and Healthy Holidays.

We’d also like to thank everyone who attended and helped make the morning such a positive and successful event. We look forward to continuing to work together to support our new Year 7 families!

🌞 Looking for something rewarding to do this summer?

Young people are invited to take part in Lifestyle 2026 – a fantastic summer holiday project from Humberside Police that encourages students to make a positive difference in their communities while developing valuable skills such as teamwork, organisation and confidence.

By taking part, students can support local causes, help the environment, meet new people and even have the chance to win some amazing prizes!

🌟 A warm welcome to our Year 6 pupils who are joining Oakfield today! We hope you have a fantastic week filled with exciting activities, new experiences, and plenty of opportunities to get to know our school.

A very warm welcome also to all of our new parents and carers. We’re delighted to welcome you to the Oakfield community and look forward to working together as your children begin this exciting new chapter.
