Key Stage 2 visit to PGL.
The residential visit to PGL was a tremendous success and enjoyed by all. It is so rewarding to observe the children participating in the activities such a centre provides and to see them face challenges and often conquer fears.  As usual the PGL staff were extremely professional and superb with the children. Feedback from the children was that the food was better than previous years. Continue reading 'Newsletter 14'»

New appointment for KS2.
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.

K’nex challenge final.

Congratulations to Joe and Ben in Year 6 who represented our school this week in the regional finals of this very difficult competition. Joe and Ben reported that “we had to build a tower over 75cm tall with a platform and a lift which was really hard! There were also lots of different schools there.”  Thank you to Mrs Williams who provided valuable team support on the day. Continue reading 'Newsletter 10'»

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. Continue reading 'Newsletter 8'»

Helping Haiti. 
At the request of our children a meeting of the Pupil Council was held to discuss ways in which the school could help raise money to support the children suffering in the earthquake that hit Haiti. It was decided that a non uniform day would be held on Thursday 28th  January. Pupils are asked to pay £1 and to come to school in non uniform clothes with pink or yellow being the theme. All money collected will be sent to Unisef whose work specifically supports children and young people.  
On Friday the pupils in Key Stage 2 wrote some thoughtful and supportive prayers for the children in Haiti. They are all on display in the entrance hall for everyone to read. Some pupils also made collection boxes for homework. Any extra contributions will be sent to Unisef on Friday. Continue reading 'Newsletter 6'»

Children In Need fundraising.

We are pleased to announce that the total amount raised through our activities last Friday was an admirable £158.59. This includes money collected in Kim’s Shop and the pub.

We give our thanks to the Pupil Council and Mrs Wynter for organising this event. We also extend a special thanks to Mr Gray for spending the morning with us and helping to make all the pizzas.
