Whilst we are enjoying the hot and sunny weather, please could you ensure that your child/children brings a sun hat and sun cream into school (both named please). We are incredibly fortunate that the large trees on the green provide a huge amount of shade, but there is still quite a lot of the green which is uncovered.

Dear Parents
We have organised and funded two days for the children to enjoy outdoor learning locally. The dates will be Monday 28th and Tuesday 29th May, in order not to incur coach costs, which would have to be passed onto the parents, we would very much appreciate it if the children could be dropped off at a drop-off point near Copsegrove at 9.15am and picked up at the drop-off point at 2.45pm. A map is available from the school office. Continue reading 'Class 2 Visit to Copsegrove Farm, Bisley – 28th and 29th May'»

To ensure the smooth running of the week could you make sure your child arrives at school promptly. Although we aim to reduce stress and anxiety past experience shows the children find the week a tiring one. Your support in ensuring your child has plenty of rest would be much appreciated.

We’d love to sell as many raffle tickets as possible before Saturday so that we can boost our fund profits and sell even more on the day.
If you still have books of raffle tickets, it would be great if you could return the money to us ready for Saturday morning (either to school on Friday or at the raffle ticket stall on Saturday).
Many thanks for all your help, it’s really appreciated. OSA.

Dear Parents
Please can you ensure all pupils arrive at school (middle room) on Saturday 12th May at 1.45pm dressed in their ‘cowboy’ clothes. We would be grateful if you can send in your child’s hat, with their name inside, for the final rehearsal on Friday.
Thank you
Hopefully the worst of the wet weather is over with –and a long hot summer is in store! So now is the perfect time for Oakridge pupils to grab their bike helmets, get on their bikes and cycle to school.
Undertaking regular physical activity stands children in really good stead for keeping fit and healthy for life. There are many benefits to cycling to school including reducing traffic on the village roads/around the school and increasing health and fitness –but most of all it’s FUN! During the summer term, Oakridge school will be running a number of initiatives to promote cycling including: classroom activities, ‘Bikeability’ training for years 5/6, and cycling skills training for year 4. We’re also making the railings to the side of the school a ‘bicycle-only’ zone between school hours so pupils have a dedicated and safe area to store their bikes. We will continue to encourage cycling (and walking) as a healthy year-round way to get to our school. Although it may mean leaving home a little earlier in the mornings and it won’t always be possible when it’s really cold and wet, it would be fantastic for parents and pupils to encourage each other to walk and cycle to school whenever possible.
Thank you for your support!
