The children at Oakridge all enjoyed learning about China today. A variety of activities were experienced by all of the children including paper cutting, food testing and a Chinese wake and shake. The school was also visited by Mr Song who talked to the children about the differences between his school in China and Oakridge. The staff would like to thank all of the parents who helped make the day such a success.

We are writing to inform you of a proposed KS2 residential visit in July this year. Our plans are to take the KS2 pupils to Court Farm near Ross-On-Wye. This centre, run by PGL, is the location used in our 2008 residential. During our visit we were particularly impressed by the expertise and professionalism of the instructional staff and group leaders. The pupils who participated in 2008 thoroughly enjoyed the experience and those still with us have requested that we return there. We would ensure that the range of activities would be different to those chosen last time. A provisional booking has been made to stay in the main complex on
Wednesday 14th July – Friday 16th July (3 days / 2 nights)

The governing body’s main tasks are to support the school, ensure that pupils receive high quality education and plan for future development and improvement.
