Interviews were held in school this week to appoint a new teacher for our Key Stage 2 class. We are pleased to announce that Lara Burtwell was the successful candidate. Lara is currently working at another small school in Gloucestershire whilst she completes her studies. Her recent experience of mixed age teaching, enthusiasm and vibrancy really made her shine. We are delighted that she will be joining our team to build upon the outstanding work carried out by Miss Hayball. Lara will be spending time in the school before September as part of her induction. A transition day is planned for 1st July – to include the current Y2 pupils – when Lara will teach the class for the day. Continue reading 'Newsletter 12'»

Comments Off Oakridge School Running Stars – is it the altitude training?
All our cross country runners in the Y3 and Y4 Stroud District finals on Wednesday were amazing. Their enthusiasm and efforts were noted by many. Our team was awarded two first and one second place medals – which for a very small school is such a fantastic achievement. We would like to give a special mention to Amy, Hester and Libby who apparently have been wearing their medals twenty four hours a day. However, we need to say a big well done to all runners and parents who have supported training. It is rumoured that training at altitude in Oakridge is the key to success.
