Don’t forget that this Friday night is Race Night at Oakridge Village Hall! It promises to be a really fun evening and a great way to bring the community together to raise some extra funds for the school. It’s open to anyone, so friends and family can come along too – don’t forget to invite them! In case you need any more persuading, here is some extra information to entice you: Race Night participants stake money on the outcome of eight pre-recorded or virtual races. Upon entry, everyone will get a programme listing the names of the eight runners and riders in each race. When the compere announces that the tote is open, you go ahead and place your bets! You’re free to bet on as many runners in each race as you wish and may buy as many tickets as you like for each runner. The races are shown on a state-of-the-art large screen which everyone will be able to see. Once each race starts there is an exciting commentary and positions display on screen – nail-biting fun! There are cash prizes for race winners and also a bottle of champagne up for grabs if you have named a horse and it wins. The licensed bar is available all night and doors open at 7.30pm (first race at 8pm). Tickets are only £1 each and can be purchased from the school and Kim’s shop. If you can, it would be great if you could buy these tickets in advance as it will help us plan the night as well as we can for you all.
We look forward to seeing you there!

On Monday 5th December the Oakridge School Association kindly provided lunch for pupils, staff and governors at The Village Hall. Everyone enjoyed a superb Christmas lunch and Father Christmas even managed to spare a few minutes to visit us. Thank you to all for the lovely lunch and for all their hard work preparing it and making the hall look so festive.
Comments Off Families in Oakridge will have the opportunity to take part in an adapted version of the Posada this Advent. Thanks to Noeleen Charlesworth and the ladies of Oakridge we have our very own knitted nativity set to use for the Posada this year 11th to 23rd December. Each day a family will be able to ‘host’ the nativity and use it to enact the story and discuss the true meaning of Christmas. This year we have a small flock of sheep. Each family may keep 1 sheep for the children to bring to the Crib service on Dec. 24th at 4.30pm and place in the crib. We have also provided a candle for the parents to light while discussing the Christmas story with the children and, if possible, perhaps the children could write their own prayers which will be laid upon the altar at the service.
There will be a timetable in the school reception for you to sign up to if you would like to take part.

As you know our children have the thrill of going to the Pantomime on Tuesday 13th December to see Sleeping Beauty at the Roses Theatre, Tewkesbury.
The coach MUST leave school promptly at 8.55 a.m. which means the children need to be in school at 8.45 for registration. School will provide drinks and biscuits for the children during the performance; lunch will then be eaten at the theatre before returning to school.
