• Tunbridge Wells Fairtrade Mural

  Fri 31 Mar 2017

  This week one of our Key Stage 4 classes joined six other local schools creating a Fairtrade mural at the Royal Victoria Centre in Tunbridge Wells. This was opened by the Mayor, himself a former Oakley member of staff, who was very impressed with the work that had been done and was anxious to catch up with news of the school.

   

  We have received lots of positive comments about our students, here is one of them: “Just to add that it was a pleasure to meet you and your young students today. Please be sure to thank them for their hard work participating in the project, as well as their fine artwork!”

   

  

• Red Nose Day at Oakley School

  Fri 24 Mar 2017
  It's Red Nose Day at Oakley School.  As well as our red noses, we (students and staff) are all wearing red and/or spots as we raise as much money as we can for people at home and abroad who need our help and support.  Today we are really promoting our school moto "work hard, be kind, have fun.." and there is no better way to raise money than by having fun.  Our Skinners' Kent Primary School (SKPS) students are joining our students on the Tonbridge site and we have a packed timetable (on top of normal lessons) including quizzes, silly games, cake sales, face painting, a Talent Show and the grand finale - our 'favourite' members of staff (one on each site) being covered in baked beans or custard!!

  

• Students enjoying new playground activities

  Wed 08 Mar 2017
  The new playground markings at the Tunbridge Wells site are complete and students of all ages have already been enjoying them during morning break, despite the drizzly weather!

  

• Our Tunbridge Wells playground is getting a make-over

  Mon 06 Mar 2017

  Earlier in the year we reported that our Outdoor Learning Project had come first in the Tesco Bags of Help vote in our local Tesco stores and we were to receive a grant award of £12,000.00! 

   

  We have now received the first tranche of the grant and the work has started!  As you can see from the photographs the grant has allowed us to make our playground stimulating, colourful, interactive, fun and suitable for all ages and abilities.

   

  The work will only take 2 days before the transformation is complete and our children and young people can enjoy the new activities and make the most of their break and lunch times.

   

  On behalf of all the students and staff at Oakley School "THANK YOU" to Tesco and our local Tesco customers who voted for us, none of this would have been possible without your support.

   

   

  

• World Book Day 2017

  Thu 02 Mar 2017
  Oakley School students and staff love a reason to wear fancy dress, and what better reason than celebrating World Book Day! We have fully embraced it again this year. We have Super Heroes, Gangster Grannies, Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland, the White Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts, a Thunderbird, Mary Poppins, Willy Wonker and so many more fantastic book characters.  The children have been searching for 'Where's Wally' characters, but apart from that we have all just been getting on with a normal school day, laughing and enjoying the fun of how great and different we all look.  Prizes for the best dressed will be awarded tomorrow in Celebration Assembly!
