End of an Era
Thu 28 Mar 2024After 23 years as dedicated Head of Oakwood, Ms Buckley enjoyed her farewell assembly this morning. Pupils, staff and Governors all joined together in the hall to celebrate the outstanding work and commitment Ms Buckley has given to the school since starting in 2001.
The children sang her favourite school songs and then presented her with her very own Special Mention Certificates after which Ms Buckley spoke about her future plans, along with reminiscing about special times at Oakwood.
We would all like to thank Ms Buckley for all she has given to the school over the years and wish her well for all her future adventures.

LKS2 Speed Stacking Competition
Tue 05 Mar 2024Cameron, Charlotte, Olivia, Matthew, Sophia, Lisia and Billy did a fantastic job representing Oakwood at the Speed Stacking competition on Tuesday. The Oakwood team competed in the 3,3,3 and the 3,6,3 individual and group events. The aim is to upstack and downstack the cups as quickly as you can and we were quick! Oakwood came an outstanding 6th out of the 13 schools participating. A special mention must go to Lisia who came 2nd in the 3,6,3 individual event achieving a phenomenal time of under 7 seconds. Miss Bird also came 2nd in the teacher 3,3,3 event with a time of 4.19 seconds which she is very proud of. All our speed stacking team had an enjoyable morning and teachers from other schools commented how kind, encouraging and polite our children were.
