Everyone at Oak Field has been delighted to be able to deliver all the Harvest Festival food donations to Emmanuel House Support Centre (https://www.emmanuelhouse.org.uk/) this week.

Thanks 6th Form for the fetching and carrying, good job!

Dear Parent/Guardian(s)

A very quick thank you for your support this half term, which has been exceptionally busy!

It was lovely to see so many parents and families at our Macmillan coffee morning – and we raised just over £200 for the charity. And the school was a sea of red today, showing solidarity for the Show Racism the Red Card campaign – thanks to all for supporting this.

Last Friday, we had a wonderful response to our Harvest Festival appeal for Emmanuel House – so many kind donations of foodstuffs, so thank you. Please see the photos on our website of some of our 6^th Formers delivering the food there yesterday. Emmanuel House sent us a really nice letter of thanks, which you can also see on our website.

Pupils in the City who are on free school meals (FSM) should have received their food vouchers for half term. Nottingham City Council are also keen to remind families that food banks are happy to help anyone who needs it. It doesn’t matter why you need help.

You can get a food bank voucher from Nottingham City Council’s customer hub, Children’s centres, GPs, health visitor, citizen’s advice and other routes

As well as food banks, Nottingham has quite a few social eating cafes offering very cheap or free hot meals –  see where your nearest one is here

Looking ahead, here are some diary dates for next half term:

Weds 2^nd November 6-7.30pm                   Fireworks Night - don’t forget to buy your tickets!

Saturday 12^th November                              Saturday swim (am)

Tues 14^th and Weds 15^th Dec                       Christmas Show: Dick Whittington!

I hope you and your families enjoy the half term break. We look forward to seeing the pupils again on Monday 31^st October.

Yours sincerely

Patricia Lewis (Headteacher)

Re: Wear Red Day - Show Racism the Red Card – this Friday. 

Dear Parent/Guardian(s) 

On Friday (14th October), we are asking pupils and staff to wear (something) red to help support the campaign to deliver anti-racism education for children, young people and adults, and challenge racism in society.  

You can find out more about this charity here: https://www.theredcard.org/home

This is an awareness-raising initiative, and in our assembly on Friday, led by some of the 6^th Form, we will be exploring this issue further. 

We hope you will feel able to support this campaign by showing solidarity and supporting your child to wear red on Friday! 

Best wishes

Oak Field School. 

Harvest Festival assembly on Friday 7th October, all donations gratefully received and will be given to Emmanuel House.
