• Phase 4 Art Exhibition - Trinity Theatre, Tunbridge Wells

  Fri 21 Oct 2022

  On Tuesday some of our Governors and staff had the privilege of attending the private viewing of the Phase 4 ’Inspired by’ art event at the Trinity Theatre. It was wonderful to see our young people’s creative work mounted and displayed.  In addition Sarah, Teacher at Phase 4 who collated the exhibition was interviewed by BBC Radio Kent to explain more about the inspiration for the exhibition: https://www.oakleyschool.co.uk/our-pupils/

   

  

• Our first residential since the pandemic!

  Fri 14 Oct 2022

  At the start of this week 10 pupils and 5 staff visited France and we are pleased to share they had a wonderful trip and wonderful weather too! While they were away they visited a goat farm, the beach, local markets and a war bunker. It was such an achievement for our young people to leave home for two nights and for some it was the first time away from their families. As always our young people demonstrated their resilience and ability to face new and exciting experiences—we are so proud of them. 

   

  We would also like to recognise and thank the staff team for leading and supporting the group on the trip—without them these trips would not be possible!   

   

  

• Futures & Destinations Event

  Fri 07 Oct 2022

  On Wednesday, 5th October our Tonbridge site hosted a ‘Futures and Destinations’ event. The event was for pupils and their families to meet representatives from various organisations who can support and guide young people about their next steps after they leave Oakley School. During the afternoon we were fortunate to be joined by some of our Governors as well as the following organisations: Spadework, Grow 19, Department for Work and Pensions, The Scott Project, Bore Place, Princess Christian’s Farm, The Oaks College, Beams. Thank you to everyone involved in the event: our staff team at Tonbridge for organising it, all of the representatives from the organisations and our pupils and their families for attending - the feedback was wonderful.
