Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Congratulations to the year 6 netball team! They have won every game they have played this school year with an aggregate score of 72-10. Because of this fantastic achievement, we will be playing at the district championships in March.
On Tuesday 11th February, we recognised Safer Internet Day across both schools.
The theme this year was 'Too Good to Be True: Protecting Yourself and Others from Scams Online.’
In KS1, we focused on staying safe online and who we could tell if we saw something that we knew wasn't safe.
In KS2, we explored different scenarios and discussed what a scam could look like, and what we should do if we think we see one.
We now know that we should never share any personal information or talk to strangers online. We became scam spotting experts by the end of the day!
Please remind all children about staying safe online and ensure you comply with the age restrictions for any apps they may be accessing.
Massive congratulations to our year 6 badminton team, who went to the Basingstoke District Championships and won the tournament!
The entire team were fantastic throughout, winning 13 out of the 15 games that they played. They all played with such confidence, passion and determination.
Because of this tremendous achievement, we have qualified for the County Championships, which will take place in Portsmouth at the end of February.

After a late change of venue due to the weather forecast, Oakridge Junior School Choir took part in the St Michael’s Hospice ‘Light it up’ carol concert on Sunday 8th December at St Joseph’s Church.

As a school, we celebrated Remembrance Day with the children by holding a 2-minute silence across the Federation. In classes, the children discussed the importance of Remembrance Day and why we celebrate it. At the end of the day, we also had special assemblies in the infants and the juniors.
On Friday 8th November, some of our year 2 and 4 children took part in the 'Diwali Light It Up' celebration in town organised by Kala the Arts. As part of this, the children participated in a light parade featuring giant puppets, musicians, performers and more than 100 decorated lanterns from the Top of Town to the amphitheatre by the Vue Cinema. Once at the amphitheatre, the children performed the dances they had learnt in school at sessions which had been put on by Kala the Arts.
The children made everyone proud and loved the experience. Well done to everyone who took part - you were all amazing!
On Thursday 26th September, Year 2 had an exciting visit from Hampshire Fire and Rescue. They came to talk to us about fire safety and what we should do if there was a fire. This included how to call 999 and knowing how we can escape from our homes safely in case there was a fire. The children also took part in a quiz to check their understanding and show how much they had learnt.
