• Oakley wins GOLD!

  Thu 28 Sep 2017
  This time last year we reported that we had been awarded silver in the Education category of Tunbridge Wells in Bloom.  This year we are thrilled to report that we won GOLD and joint overall WINNER with Herbilicious, who work closely with Oakley School and our students.  Our two specialist Forest Schools teachers, along with two representative students (pictured), went to the award ceremony yesterday, 27th September and very proudly collected our prize, which they then shared with all their peers in Celebration Assembly today.   We are so excited about winning that we have already started talking about how we can be even better next year!  Well done to everyone involved and thank you to Tunbridge Wells in Bloom for their support and encouragement.

  

• Oakley's first Ski Trip

  Wed 20 Sep 2017

  This year some of our Key Stage 4 pupils have been given the opportunity to attend a residential skiing trip in February 2018, staying in the resort of Pila in Italy.

   

  Oakley have been fortunate enough to be invited to join Ifield School, who have successfully been going for a number of years. Ifield School is a district Special School, similar to Oakley based in Gravesend, Kent.

   

  We believe this experience will provide our students with a fantastic social and practical learning opportunity as well as helping them develop core strength and balance.

   

  As this is the pilot year for this trip we will be taking a smaller number of pupils, however we hope to open this up to more pupils next year.

   

  If you require further information please contact Sally Maher (P.E Co-ordinator)

• Oakley School does Dragon Boat Racing!

  Tue 12 Sep 2017
  Saturday 9th September was the Dragon Boat Race at Bewl Water and with the support of the Rotary Club, Oakley School entered a team of 1980's movie characters to compete against 59 other teams and, mostly importantly, fundraise!  It was a beautiful sunny day, which meant that we could dry out in between races and when it did finally rain, we were already on our way home! Despite our best efforts, we didn't make the final but our best time was 1m 27s which we felt was perfectly respectable. It was a long day but we had a lot of fun and most importantly, hopefully raised a lot of money for Oakley School. Thank you to everyone who supported and sponsored us, thank you to the Rotary Club and to everyone (staff, governors and family members) who rowed on the day.
