  Our choir represented Oakley School at the 2025 Young Voices concert at Resorts World Arena, Birmingham last night.

• Hedges Trimmed for the New Year

  Mon 06 Jan 2025 Iola Seaton-Reid

  We are so grateful to Carl Robinson and his team for doing such a fabulous  job trimming back the hedges along the front of the school during the Christmas holidays.  We have gained at least half a metre of pavement which will make walking along this section of Worminghall Road much easier for our families and the whole community.  The finished job is so neat and tidy and a vast improvement for the frontage of the school and Oakley Pre-School.

  Carl kindly completed this work voluntarily, and in return we would be most grateful if our families and the wider community would consider using his company for any garden maintenance, tree surgery etc should you be looking for someone.

• Delivery of Parcels to Oakley Residents

  Tue 17 Dec 2024 Iola Seaton-Reid

  Yesterday, we continued the long tradition of delivering parcels to the older members of the Oakley community on behalf of the Oakley Charities.

  Groups of children, accompanied by staff, helpers and Father Christmas himself sang Christmas carols and songs to the recipients around the village.  This is always such a lovely occasion bringing the youngest and oldest of the community together.

  Special thanks to Viv Webb and Emma Mulcahy for your expert organisation skills, getting the right parcel to the right person in the right group, and to Jill Cherry and our four Santas for making the morning go so smoothly.
