Talented musicians from year 7 and 8 along with many other musical pupils from local schools attended the Jackdaws annual summer music picnic on Friday 28th June. It was a beautiful day of sunshine and wonderful musical performances. Our Oakfield Academy students ‘wowed’ everybody with their heartfelt singing along with some inspiring instrumental recitals on flute and piano. This was all followed by a picnic in the garden where all the pupils had the opportunity to get to know one another and share even more songs in a relaxed and friendly setting. Thank you once again to Jackdaws for inviting us to this fantastic event and congratulations to Edie Ray, Lily Pang, Willow Pincombe and Emily Taylor for their memorable performances.

School Uniform purchases

School Uniform can be purchased from the academy office every day during term time from 9am—4pm.  The office will also be open during the Summer holidays on Monday 22nd July, Tuesday 23rd July and Tuesday 3rd September from 10am-2pm.

Please encourage your children to reclaim missing items from Lost Property (in our Reprographics Room). Parents are welcome to claim items between 3-4pm each day. We return items that are clearly named, however looking at our current lost property box which is over flowing, clearly a lot of items are not named.  Our Reception will be open for the first two days of the summer holidays for reclaiming items (Monday 22nd, Tuesday 23rd July, 10am—2.00pm).

Items that have not been claimed by this time will be recycled or disposed of.

On Wednesday 12th June from 3.30 – 4pm we are holding a parent information session for Year 7 and 8 parents which will be run by the Life Education Company who are running pupil workshops during June and July this year which have focused on helping pupils consider healthy choices with drugs, alcohol and tobacco.

The session will be looking at the topics that have been covered with the pupils as well as time to answer questions and share useful resources.

If you would like to attend, please confirm your attendance with our Reception team so we can plan accordingly.
