I would like to inform you that our much valued and respected KS2 teacher Lissi Hayball has successfully gained another teaching position at a school in Warwickshire. The location of the new school is indicative of the reason behind her difficult decision to move on – to relocate in order to be with her partner. Lissi will be missed by all. However, I am certain you will join me in wishing her all the best for her exciting move, new job in September and indeed her continuing success in this profession. Plans to appoint new teacher for September are in place and we will keep you informed about the process.
All KS2 pupils to arrive in school at 1.45pm (even in the event of bad weather)
Costumes
Girls – flowery dresses/flat shoes
Boys – grey trousers/white shirt/black shoes
School will be providing sashes and ribbons on the day
Please bear in mind the temperature – your child may need extra layers on the day
Many thanks
Based on our experience last week we anticipate that our return to school from Cirencester Leisure Centre will be 3.45pm.
Could all pupils therefore be collected from school at 3.45pm and not 3.30pm as previously stated.
Thank you

Our procedures for parents evening were discussed at a recent staff meeting. It was felt that all too often timings “over ran” which resulted in frustrating long waits for some parents of sometimes up to an hour. Indeed many of the received parent questionnaires had requested that longer slots be allocated or that we try to reduce the amount of waiting time.

Following our China Day, the Children write down their own impressions of the day.
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)
