At Oakhill we value the importance of parents and carers and provide a welcoming, non-judgemental environment with an open-door policy. We work closely with parents and carers and provide support for them and their children, both academically and personally. When schools and parents work together there is a positive impact on children's academic success and their wellbeing.

We actively encourage parents and carers to be a part of our school community and over this academic year have a variety of opportunities for parents and carers to join us and their children in school. 

We would like to invite all parents/carers to a number of events in school, the dates of which can be found below. We will be holding our parent/carer lunches where we invite you to join your child for lunch; our parent reading breakfasts where we invite you to share breakfast and a book with your child, and, our 'Watch me Learn' sessions where we invite you to come into school to share a lesson with your child. All dates can be found below.

In addition to these we will continue to hold our Adult and Family Learning sessions.
