Oaks Primary Academy Newsletter

Monday 16th October 2023 

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we enter into a very autumnal final week of term, we are focusing on helping others and charity. We look forward to our fundraising day for the Abilities in me Charity on Tuesday 17th October when we will all dress in brightly coloured clothing (please see the charity tab of this newsletter for more details about the charity and donating). We have also been preparing for our World Food Celebration at St Martin's Church on Friday 20th October at 10 am. The children can't wait to exhibit all of their work about food around the world and how we are one big community. 

Please also remember that Friday is our last day of this term and we will return following the two week autumn break on Monday November 6th.  

Please can you also ensure that you send your child(ren) into school with a coat as colder weather takes hold. Children may aso need hats and gloves, and as always, please ensure all items are labelled.

Yours sincerely and I look forward to seeing many of you at St Martin's Church on Friday,

Mr Moore
