  • Year 11 Leavers Day

    Published 13/06/25

    It is a bitter-sweet time of the year when we finally say goodbye to all our Year 11’s. We saw you when you first came to us on Transition days and saw you progress to your GCSE’s, and it’s been one heck of a journey.

    To recognise the hard work you’ve done with your time at The Oakwood, it was a day of celebration and memory.

    We will miss you, Year 11! We hope that you all stay in touch and wish you the very best of luck for the future.

    See you all at The Prom!

    Below you will see a selection of photographs of Leavers Day.

  • Year 11 Leavers Information

    Published 05/06/25

    Afternoon all

    As we move ever closer to your final few days with us at Oakwood I wanted to give you some information and a few requests. 

    Everyone who ordered a leavers hoodie will be given it next Thursday afternoon (12th). 

    On Friday 13th (your leavers day) you will be able to wear your hoodie to school instead of your blazer. All other aspects of your uniform must remain (shoes, trousers/skirt, shirt, tie). If you didn't order a hoodie - blazers still please.

    It is important you don't do any shirt signing prior to the exam as it may mean you aren't allowed to enter the exam hall. 

    The final day looks like this - 

    • 8:00am - Science booster.

    • 8:45am - Bleachers for messages/ science briefing.

    • 10:15/20am - Combined science students return to lesson (Science/ Maths).

    • 10:45am - Break for all students - Y11 allowed to get shirts signed

    • 11:05am - All Y11 students to come to the outdoor seating for shirt signing/ photos etc

    • 11:30  - Leavers assembly starts

    • 12:15 – All Y11 go home to revise!

    You will return the following week for your remaining exams and full school uniform will still be needed.

    Finally, once all of your exams are complete we would appreciate any donations of uniform, PE Kit, school bags, old revision books etc. This is to enable us to support families in the community. If you are able to help please drop off at main reception at any time – we appreciate this in advance.

    Thank you,

    Mr Gilbert
