Leigh Academy Oaks- Principal's Bulletin

Dear Parents & Carers, 

This week has been another busy week at Oaks as pupils have been preparing for their Christmas performances to parents and carers. It has been a pleasure to hear our pupils singing and playing various musical instruments in readiness, I am confident that they will all make you very proud when it comes to performance time. 

Pupils this week have also been completing assessments in class. Their resilience and determination has shone through this week and many pupils were recognised for this in assembly. We spoke about the importance of completing assessments as it informs teachers' understanding of what pupils can remember. 

I am incredibly proud of our Yr 5/6 footballers who went out this week to play a match against Leigh Academy Bearsted. They demonstrated admirable sportsmanship, showing respect, celebrating with humility and offering a handshake or words of encouragement to the opposing team. They should be incredibly happy with their winning outcome! 

On Thursday 4th December, Mrs Mehigan is hosting a parent and carer session in the hall to share how we learn at Oaks and what it means to be an IB PYP school. This is at 2:45pm and we look forward to welcoming you. 

 To celebrate our pupils' inquiry learning through the IB Primary Years Programme, we also invite you into classrooms on Tuesday 16th December at 2:45pm to see how the PYP engages our pupils and supports their academic and personal development. 

More information about this will follow from Mrs Mehigan. 

As the weather continues to become colder and wetter, please take care on the academy site to ensure that there are no slips, trips or falls on areas that may have wet leaves or become slippery in colder weather.  

Best Wishes, 

Mr L Coulson
