Head of School's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,
​
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for your tremendous efforts in making World Book Day a memorable event for our children. Your creative costumes, the selection of favourite books brought from home, and your presence at the end of the day to read with your children were truly appreciated.
The day was a wonderful immersion into the world of books, with reading being the heart of our activities. While the costumes added a special touch and were delightful to see, our primary focus was on fostering a love for reading and learning. We hope you and your child enjoy the book that was sent home, along with the activities we've provided to support the text. These resources are intended to extend the joy and learning experienced during the day.
Thank you for being an invaluable part of our community and for your continuous support in nurturing a love for learning in our children.

Success Story of the Week!
Here at Oxhey outdoor exploration is at the heart of children's education, sparking awe and wonder in their young minds. It is through these experiences that children explore the world around them, develop vital skills, and ignite their natural curiosity.
We are committed to providing high-quality outdoor learning opportunities that inspire creativity, resilience, and independent learning.
This week has been no exception with the warm weather giving a little helping hand.
