April Open Day
We're holding our next Open Day for prospective pupils, their parents and carers on Saturday 26th April from 10am - 1pm. There'll be the opportunity to meet some of our experienced and knowledgeable team, take a tour of our school and learn more about 'The Oaklands Way'.
Booking is essential. Time slots can be booked here.
Pupil Mobile Phones
Following Government guidance on prohibiting the use of mobile phones throughout the school day and to comply with GDPR regulations, we will be asking all our pupils to hand in their mobile phones at Reception at the start of every school day. Their phones will be kept securely during the day and will be returned to pupils just before they leave school to come home.
Read the Government's Guidance for schools on prohibiting the use of mobile phones throughout the
school day

Staying Safe in the Sun
Children's skin is much more sensitive than adult skin, and damage caused by repeated exposure to sunlight could lead to skin cancer developing in later life. That's why we're asking that all parents and carers apply sunscreen (at least SPF30) to pupils before they leave home for school in the morning. If you would like your child to reapply sunscreen during the school day, they can bring in their own but it must to clearly labelled with their name. If your child needs assistance to reapply sunscreen. please email us to give us your permission to do so.
Read NHS advice about Sunscreen and Sun Safety.
Sports Day
Following on from the great success of last year's Sports Day, this year's event is scheduled to take place at Hungerford Town Football Club on Friday 11th July. We have a backup date of Friday 18th July if the weather is bad on the 11th. We look forward to seeing you all there!

Free Workshops for Parents/Carers of Autistic Children and Young People
Autism Berkshire offer a range of free online autism advice workshops to parents and carers who live in Reading, Wokingham and West Berkshire, through the Berkshire West Autism & ADHD Support Service.
These evidence-based workshops, developed by Autism Berkshire’s family support team, provide information and support to the parents and carers of autistic children and young people aged up to 18, whether they already have an autism diagnosis or are on the waiting list for a Berkshire CAMHS autism assessment.
