‘Working together for a brighter future’
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. In addition to these we will continue to hold our Adult and Family Learning sessions.
