• Official Opening of Oakley's Specialist Observation & Assessment Nursery

  Fri 20 Oct 2017

  Today was the official opening of Oakley School's new Specialist Observation and Assessment Nursery.  Thank you to everyone who attended; representatives from the Local Authority, Kier who did the building work, local special schools and nurseries, school governors and the local community. 

   

  Gordon Tillman, Headteacher opened by welcoming all our guests and thanking all the parties involved in getting the Nursery up and running. Claire Bingham our Early Years and Nursery Lead then gave a speech thanking all of the Oakley staff and pupils for their support and for being so inclusive with the Nursery children. She also thanked the Nursery staff who transferred to Oakley from Ravensdale, for their commitment and hard work to make the Nursery such a wonderful environment for our children.  Finally, Jared Nehra, Area Education Officer for West Kent, supported by Alan Bernstein our Chair of Governors, cut the ribbon and officially opened the Nursery.

   

  We are very appreciative of everyone's support and encouragement.  We, at Oakley School, are so proud to have a specialist Nursery and we look forward to its continuing success. 

  

• Oakley pupils enjoy Sports Discovery Day

  Fri 13 Oct 2017
  Last Thursday, 5th October our Key Stage 3 pupils attended a Sports Discovery Day at the Angel Centre in Tonbridge.  Whilst there they got the opportunity to try some new sporting activities including trampolining, gymnastics, judo, non-contact boxing, handball, sitting volleyball and basketball.  The children had a great time, as you can see in the photos, and loved the goodie bags they were given at the end of the day.  The event and Oakley School were even featured in the local press (also pictured).  Thank you to the sponsors and organisers and everyone who helped on the day, it was a huge success.

  

• Oakley replicates 'The Good Life', a small step to self-sufficiency...

  Fri 06 Oct 2017

  Continuing with the theme of Harvest and our success with Tunbridge Wells in Bloom, Class 4MN have been cooking with Oakley grown vegetables this afternoon.  Using some of our organic chillies and peppers, they have made some ‘chilli jam’; although you may not want to spread it on your toast!  

  

• Oakley celebrates Harvest Festival

  Tue 03 Oct 2017

  On Monday, 2nd October our Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 5 children and young people participated in the Harvest Festival service at Tonbridge Baptist Church. The students gave their food donations to Claire (pictured) who then told them about where the food goes and how it helps people. Everyone then said a prayer and joined in with a Harvest song. Thank you to those who supported us and donated food.

   

  Next week pupils and staff on the Tunbridge Wells site are having a Harvest Festival assembly with the Vicar of St. Phillip's Church.  All donations will be taken to the Nourish Community Foodbank afterwards.
