Author visit to OPA
Fri 09 Jun 2023

OPA had a FAB and an exciting week of reading this week. On Thursday, 8 June 2023, the children in Years 4-6 were lucky enough to be visited by author Joel Arcanjo who spoke all about his book 'Crookhaven'. The children loved finding out about his exciting series of books and even helped to come up with the idea that might feature in his next book!

On Friday, 9 June 2023, our Year 1 and 2 children were joined by Paula Harrison. Paula told the children all about her new book series 'Fairytale Ninjas'. They loved hearing all about the books and all the characters who feature in them.

A FAB-tastic time was had by all!
Art Gallery at Oxley Park Academy
Thu 08 Jun 2023

We ended Summer 1 term with our very own art gallery! The gallery showcased a range of artwork created during Art Week, all linked to the King's Coronation. From Nursery to Year 6, children used various painting techniques to create stamps. These techniques included printing with objects, collagraph printing with stampers, relief printing using stampers, polystyrene and felt tip printing, leaf rubbings, and mono printing with layered inks. Both campuses' halls displayed the children's artwork, from their own creations to those of their friends, classes, year groups, and the entire school community. Parents who attended surely enjoyed admiring their children's work. Without a doubt, the masterpieces looked fabulous!

Working at Oxley is so special and unique. Everyone is so kind, well-being is at the forefront and our community are a delight. I love my job! (Teacher)
The school missions and values make my son want to be a part of the Academy and try his best. I feel proud that my sons are at Oxley Park and the Nursery and I feel that the changes being made are really positive!
The children are oozing with so much more ‘zest’ since the start of this year, which makes us as parents happier and excited about their future at OPA.
My children love the school! My eldest was quiet, didn’t want to learn, didn’t enjoy school. Now he is settled, has friends and has started to show improvements. My daughter loves her teachers and is extremely enthusiastic.
