An Open Day for parents of children wishing to start school in September 2017 will be held on Friday, December 2nd 2016.  

 

The tours of the school will not only include a visit to the Reception

Class but also give parents the opportunity to visit other classes to see how we develop teaching and learning as children progress through the school.

 

There are two times available:  9.30am or 2pm and parents are asked to please contact the School Office to book a place.    There will also be time, over coffee for prospective new parents to meet our learning mentor, school governors, other parents and get further information about school.

 

If there are families looking for a place for an older child, in the first instance we recommend calling the School Office .

 

 

 

There is a lot of work being done in the school grounds at present ranging from painting benches to planting the various flower beds. A big thank you to everyone who is helping with this.

Earlier this week Oswestry Council very kindly donated some plants to school so Mrs Rothera and teams of pupils have been planting these out along with the other plants.

Mr Jeffrey and Mr Pugh have continued with the re-furbishing of playground furniture as well as removing the broken parts of the pergola.  It is planned to keep the pergola beds where they are and replant these.  However the lovely statue of Mary that is on loan to school from Mrs Freda Jones has had to be moved and now is the focal point of Mary's Garden.

We are planning a special planting by the new access ramp and steps to the demountable building.  For this we would like wellington boots - of all sizes and colours.   If you have any unwanted boots please leave these inside the gates when bringing children to school.  

 

 

ROYAL BRITISH LEGION POPPY APPEAL

Once again this year, Year 6 pupils will be fundraising for this worthwhile cause.  A selection of items will be on sale at 50p or £1 and as usual, poppies can be purchased for a donation.

The fundraising starts on Friday November 4th and a letter is being sent home to give further information.

The next meeting of the Friends of Our Lady & St. Oswald's will be held on Tuesday 11th October 2016, at 6.30pm in the school hall.  We will be discussing ideas and planning events for the school year.  It would be great to see some new faces - all are very welcome!

For further information on the Friends of Our Lady & St. Oswald's please see our information page.

A big thank you to everyone who supported today's Macmillan Coffee Morning, whether it was by donating cakes, joining us for coffee, or sending money so the children could choose and buy a cake.

 

To date you have raised £305.00.

 

Mrs Grayston has also asked for her thanks to be passed on to everyone who has sponsored her as she "Braved-the-Shave" during the coffee morning.    At school today she received £175 donations which added to those already received means she is now in the region of £1800 - and rising.   

 

So, once again, however you supported us, we do thank you for your generosity.

FRIENDS' SUMMER FAYRE 2016

 

A big thank you to everyone who supported the Summer Fayre yesterday whether as a stall holder or "customer", it was a lovely afternoon and raised over £400.00 for school funds.    The variety of stalls was amazing.

Congratulations too to Clover, Rio, Mia, Cady and Nicole who won the entrepreneur competition for the stall that made the most money on the day.

A special thank you to Miss Miller and her amazing team who worked so hard to ensure it was a wonderful day.    

 

I just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy summer and that I look forward to starting Spy kids on Monday  12th of September!     Mrs Rose.

Our class assembly is on Friday 15th July. The theme is Minibeasts and the children can dress up as their favourite Minibeast if they would like to.
