Re:          Easter Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Club @ Oak Field, run by Your Sport Solutions

                Tuesday 02 – Friday 05 April 2024, 10am – 2pm.

                For pupils age 4 (Reception) to 16 (KS4 Year 11) on Free School Meals (FSM)

Dear Parent/Guardian(s)

You may be aware of the Government (DfE) funded Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, which is free for all pupils age 4 (in Reception) to age 16 (in KS4 Y11) who are eligible for Free School Meals. You will already have received your child’s unique HAF voucher code by text and email from Nottingham City Council.  

This Easter holiday, an organisation called Your Sport Solutions has hired part of Oak Field School from OCS (who manage the school building) to deliver a 4-day HAF club from Tuesday 02 – Friday 05 April, 10am to 2pm. This club is open to children and young people with SEN across the city, and the organisation would especially like to include Oak Field pupils, which is why they have hired this particular building. They have said that the sort of fun activities the children and young people will be doing will include sport, cooking, and a visit from White Post Farm.

The club and lunch is free, but you will need to transport your child to and from the Oak Field School building.

Your Sport Solutions will be running this club with their own staff, supplemented by some Oak Field staff. I must stress, however, that this club is not led or managed in any way by Oak Field School – any Oak Field staff working at the club will be working for Your Sport Solutions during that time.

If you are interested in finding out more about this club, please contact Richie Holmes directly at Your Sport Solutions 07871 357 197 or by emailing him at richie.holmes@yoursportsolutions.co.uk

Richie has said that every effort will be made to ensure that the club is as inclusive as possible, but you will understand that he and his team might not be able to meet some of the complex health, postural management, care, and behavioural needs of some of the Oak Field pupils. It is therefore really important that you give him really clear and accurate information about your child’s needs.

This is the only information the school will be sending out about the club – please direct any queries directly to Richie rather than to the school.

We do hope some of the Oak Field pupils will be able to access this opportunity, and that it goes really well.

Yours sincerely

Patricia Lewis

We are now live with our new communication and payments system, Arbor, so you are now able to log on to the Parent Portal and App - an email has been sent to advise you how to log on and further help and guidance can be found in the links below;

Any queries, please contact the School Office

On Monday 19^th February 2024, we are moving to a new Management Information System, Arbor, and so you will no longer be able to access the School Gateway for communications and payments.  The new system is much more user friendly for both parents and staff, and there will be a parent portal and parent app where you will be able to see information about your child, make payments and much more.  The attached link to the Arbor Help Centre gives you a flavour of how the new system will look.

Further details about Arbor will be provided to you on or after the 19^th February 2024, including how you will be able to register for the parent portal and parent app.

To support the migration to Arbor, payments on the School Gateway will be stopped at the end of tomorrow (Thursday 8^th February 2024) and will resume after the 19^th February 2024; we will notify you of the exact date.  Any balances on School Gateway will be transferred over to Arbor.
