Our first AGM of session 2016-2017 is on the 14th September at 6.30pm – 8.00pm. All parents are welcome to attend.
We are always looking for new members for our parent council or fundraising committee so if you are interested please

Water Bottles in School
Daily Mile
We like to encourage children to drink water
throughout the day and children have access to their
water bottles in the class and other areas of the
school. Can we please remind you that it should only be
water that they are drinking out of those bottles in the
classroom and not diluted juice.
Pupils and staff continue to enjoy taking part in the
‘Daily Mile Challenge’ every day. We hope this will bring
about many benefits to the health and wellbeing of our
pupils. For some of our new parents you can find out
more information about this on the website:

Oakbank Safe Start Club
The ‘Safe Start Club’ started on Tuesday 16th August to provide child care for pupils from 8.00am to 9.00am. The
children attending this club have all settled very well. A big thank you to all the parents involved who worked very hard
to move this forward – Mr Dave Shenton, Mrs Sam Pettigrew, Mrs Lynne Cunningham, Mrs Irene Wilson and Mrs Louise
Edwards. If you are interesting in your child attend this morning club please contact safe start on email
