We have come to the end of the Spring term and the school has been busy with lots of lovely activities taking place today. We have had a scavenger hunt, whole school assembly, bake sale, trip to the local park and lots of tours for potential families! There has been such a wonderful atmosphere around the school today.
Our Year 6`s are also returning from their fantastic week long residential trip today! They have been at `The Towers` in North Wales and have had an amazing time abseiling, kayaking, gorge walking and much more! This is a really valuable experience that our Year 6`s look forward to all year- we can`t wait to hear more about it after the Easter break.
We wanted to take this opportunity to wish all of the Oakleigh House community a restful Easter break. We look forward to welcoming the children back to school on Tuesday 29th April for the Summer term and to any families who are joining us for our Open Day on May 8th- we can`t wait to meet you. 🌞
