Next up in our series of class assemblies are Year 4! Families were treated to a fantastic array of singing, dancing and acting to tell us all about their topic, ‘The Battle of Hastings’.
We are so proud of each of our classes for working hard on their class assemblies 👏

📣 At Oakleigh House School, we value our parents and their feedback.
Each year, we launch the `Voice of the Parent` campaign and take the time to understand what areas we are doing well in and what areas we can improve. We are delighted to have seen an increase in our net promoter score this year, demonstrating that we really have taken on board our parents feedback to make a difference.
Take a look at some of the comments, showcasing just some of the things that make Oakleigh House School stand out.

This week our class assemblies have started! Year 6 took to the stage to bring to life the history of ancient Egypt. 🇪🇬📜
They taught us all about the ancient Egyptian Gods & Goddesses, embalming, how the pyramids were built and just how integral ancient Egypt is to the word today!
Our parents even got quizzed at the end to see just how much they could remember…
Da Iawn Year 6! 👏 a fantastic start to our series of class assemblies.

Oakleigh House World book day! 📚
We were delighted to showcase our love of literacy at Oakleigh House School last week.
Each of our classes fully immersed themselves in the magic of literature and as you can see, we had a real variety of fictional and non-fictional characters represented!
Reading is fundamental to our children`s development and is something that we incorporate into our curriculum from nursery onwards. Our children are learning to read from an early stage, and we believe that this fosters a genuine love of reading.
