Oakwood School and Assessment Centre
Welcome to the official page for Oakwood School and Assessment Centre.
Some lucky boys and girls in Classes 13 & 14 visited Shannaghmore Outdoor Ecucation Centre in Newcastle on Thursday. They walked around the amazing Santa trail, had hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows..... and got to meet Santa himself, who made quite an entrance 🎅🎅🎅 We would like to say a massive thank you to Gregg, Chris and all of the awesome staff at Shannaghmore who really pulled out the stops and made us so welcome.
As part of our Christmas celebration, our pupils had their Christmas dinner today, we all had a great time.
Mark Gribben from EA picked the 4 prize winners from our Gingerbread House competition today. He had a really hard time choosing, but the winners were ......

Well done to all our Forest School Family certificate recipients for November.
This month some of our pupils have been making bird feeders to help look after our wildlife over the winter. Our December Forest School Family challenge is to show us how you help to look after the wildlife at home.
Thank you to everyone who came to our Christmas Fun Night last night. It was just lovely to see old friends and new and seeing everyone having such a good time.
The night was a great success and Santa was so impressed with how many good boys and girls were there! He has them on all his "good list" for Christmas Eve!!
Thank you for all of your support for our Jumper Day. We raised £139.15 and we all looked fabulous.

What do you think of our school Christmas cards for 2023? They were designed by Lucy from Class 10 and Oisin from Class 13!
It was a tough competition but these 2 drawings won the staff vote. A limited number of packs of 10 cards [5 of each design] are available to buy now for £5 a pack! Please contact your child's teacher if you would like to purchase some or email me on [email protected]. We hope to have some available to buy at our Christmas Fun Night but they could sell out before then!!!

Oakwood Forest Family Challenge -
Oakwood is a forest school and all our pupils enjoy getting out to their forest school sessions every week. Now we are going to challenge them to share that enjoyment with their families. Every month we will set our families a small taster of our forest school activities for you to enjoy as a family, and share your experience with us in school. Any child sharing their photos will receive a certificate for their family in assembly. Please send photos to your child’s teacher on seesaw, or email to [email protected].
November has started out very wet, and there is nothing we love more in Oakwood than a puddle to splash in. This month our challenge is to get out and find a puddle to play in. Don’t forget to send in your photos. "
Important information about strike action next week.
All welcome to our Christmas Fun Night, come along and enjoy the Christmas spirit!
Congratulations to all our families who completed our October Forest School Family challenge.
Planning has begun for our Christmas fun night which will be held on Thursday 7th December. We need your help to make this a success, we would really appreciate any donations to our bottle stall and our raffle. If you or anyone you know is in a position to help us out, please contact Lynn or let your child’s teacher know. We know this will be a very enjoyable evening and we will share more information closer to the night. Thank you.
