The Oakridge Sport Relief Mile.
The staff would like to say a big well done to all the pupils, parents and grandparents who successfully completed a wet and soggy mile up at the playing field last Friday. The total amount raised for the Sport Relief appeal was £79.00. Yet again our Pupil Council did a great job in coordinating the organisation of the event – great lap markers
PGL – a reminder.
The next payment of £30.00 per pupil towards the cost of the KS2 residential visit is due by 31st March 2010.
Easter Egg competition.
The annual Oakridge School Easter Egg competition will take place on Tuesday 30th April. On that morning all pupils are invited to bring in a “decorated” hard boiled egg. School staff are always amazed by the creations that arrive at school. In the past we have seen dinosaurs, spiders, football teams and even “The X factor”. There will be a small egg shaped prize for the best entries in both classes.
Victorian Day – Wednesday 31st March
For Wednesday 31st March (last day of term) we have organised a Victorian day for the whole school. Please come in Victorian dress ready to experience many exciting activities including examining authentic Victorian artefacts.
Achievement Worship.
There will be an achievement worship held in church on Wednesday 31st March at 9.15 am.

A leaflet giving information about a Parent Support Advisor who is working with our Extended Schools Cluster Group is available from the school office.
