• School dinners

  Wed 22 Jan 2020

  Dear Parents and Carers,

  ​

  Can I thank you all for your continued understanding and cooperation with our current boiler fault.  The fault can now be fixed however, we are awaiting confirmation that this will take place on Friday.  

  With regards to the canteen, Principals are having to carry out a very thorough risk assessment to ensure they can use the kitchen tomorrow to provide a hot meal for all school dinners.  They have reassured us that the necessary steps will be taken so that hygiene is not compromised. As a result I can confirm that there will be hot school dinners tomorrow.  The dinners may vary from the original menu, for example there may be boiled potatoes as opposed to mashed.  Nevertheless, I know you will be pleased to hear this news.

  These have been a challenging few days for us all but it just shows what a great team we are when we all work together - children, parents, carers and staff!  Thank you all.

• Packed Lunches at Oakfield 22nd January

  Tue 21 Jan 2020

  Dear Parents and Carers,

   

  Firstly, can I thank you all for your understanding with today's issue in the canteen. For all those parents and carers that managed to provide a lunch for their child it was very much appreciated. Your kind words and support are always received well by all the team at Oakfield.

  The engineers have been in school today and the issue has not been resolved due to the scale of the issue. It has been escalated as "urgent" but without the necessary parts and chemicals it remains unresolved. As a result of this, we are not able to provide any school dinners for Nursery to Year 6 for tomorrow. Therefore, EVERY child will need to come into school tomorrow with a packed lunch. Our priority, as is yours as parents and carers, is​ the health and safety of every child as well as keeping the school open.

  This is sadly a situation that is completely out of our hands but I can assure you that specific staff have been working tirelessly to ensure the correct people are dealing with the fault as a matter of urgency. We will inform you again via Parentmail, Facebook and the school website what the situation will be for Thursday 23rd January.

  Please do share with as many parents and carers as possible.

  Thank you again for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
