🌿 Another Busy Week at Oakley School! 🌿

It may have been a short week, but it’s certainly been a memorable one!
Our Year 6 pupils have been away on their residential at Bore Place—many experiencing their first night away from home. From farm visits and pizza making to a special bonfire evening, it has been a fantastic opportunity to build confidence, independence and friendships. We are incredibly proud of everything they have achieved 👏

We also celebrated VE Day with Nexus School—our “Nexoaks” collaboration was full of energy, music and joy! 🎶

Meanwhile, Hever Class took part in a Global Kitchen workshop, exploring important themes like foodbanks while getting creative with hands-on activities.

💛 Thank you to our amazing community for your continued support with our Phase 4 Playground project—please keep sharing our fundraising links to help us bring this vision to life:

Headteacher Update 30th April 2026 Dear Families,

Welcome to Term 5 at Oakley School!

We hope all our families enjoyed a restful Easter break. It’s been wonderful to welcome pupils back this week — everyone has returned in great spirits and ready for another busy and positive half term.

This term, our whole‑school topic is Global Kitchen, where pupils will explore foods, flavours and traditions from around the world. Through cooking and food experiences, children will be building communication, independence, sensory exploration and important life skills.

Families can support this learning at home by:
✅ Talking about food, colours and tastes
✅ Involving children in simple cooking or mealtime activities
✅ Sharing family recipes or cultural dishes with class teams

⭐ Reminder:
📅 Friday 1st May – INSET Day (school closed)
📅 Monday 4th May – Bank Holiday
