Oak Heights school closed for the summer break and will resume on the 10th September 2014

Oak Heights school and the tuition centre in hounslow is now closed for the summer break. The school will resume on the 10th September 2014, usual time from 9am to 345pm.
In the new academic term, Oak Heights school will branch out in offering tuition lessons in Hounslow and will be named treetop tuition. It will also be known as Oak Heights tuition centre.
Oak Heights tuition centre will be offering tuition lessons in Maths, English and Science and GCSE and A level standard. It will be taught by highly skilled teachers and tutors in classes no more than 6. Schemes of works will be created specifically tailored for the tuition lessons which will be handed out to the students prior to the lesson itself. Regular homework will be set and detentions will be given out if the homework is not complete. During the year each child will need to sit consultations with senior members of staff. During these consultations pupils will be reviewing their progress and performance. Homework timetables are extremely important for pupils wishing to organise their time properly. With a homework timetable, each student will effectively be able to plan and define his or her study time and free time accordingly. Each child is expected to produce a homework study timetable within six weeks from the start of term. This timetable should accommodate all subjects that have homework attached. If pupils have problems completing their homework, or are returning poorly performed work, they will be expected to submit their timetable for validation. General problems will also be discussed during these sessions. The sessions will offer children a source of counselling should there be a need.
The notice board will list appointment times for children to attend their consultation sessions. All pupils should observe the notice boards regularly and respond to any instructions.
The tuition centre building is also approved by OFSTED, which meets health and safety standards, fire regulations at the building are met. Being in a building that is secure, safe and that it meets standards gives parents the confidence that their children are in a safe environment. Furthermore all of our staff are CRB, list 99 checked.
Oak Heights school is located in Hounslow near the high street. A prime location where public transport is easily accessible. The school is dedicated to fully understanding the national curriculum in order for the teaching to be suited exactly to the necessary examination requirements. Teachers have been trained to cover all aspects of the theoretical knowledge necessary to cope with examination requirements. The way in which the core content of syllabuses is conveyed is in such a manner as to stimulate questioning minds and encourage independent thought so that practical and common sense is not forgotten.

Oak Heights School and exam centre - Summer term

Arguably one of Hounslow’s best schools, Oak Heights school provides students from the age of 11-16 to experience the Oak Heights innovative teaching approaches in order to instil inspiration in the aspiring minds of students. The teachers employ a passionate, enthusiastic and encouraging attitude, which is demonstrated through excellent exam results. We at Oak Heights like to motivate our students to realize their own potential, so the students can believe in their own capabilities and build on their confidence, which will help them overcome any future challenges they come across.
The Exam Centre in Hounslow provides private study students or students who are retaking a chance to do their exams at our centre. We offer practical exam sessions in GCSE and A levels also called EMPA's at our London based centre for Biology, Chemistry and Physics. This gives the students a chance to familiarize themselves with the laboratory and equipment. The next practical sessions will be available in September 2014, dates are yet to be confirmed. Entries for the June/July GCSE’s and GCE examinations will commence in September 2014, we cover AQA, EDEXCEL, OCR and WJEC Welsh examining boards. For application form please log on to the Oak Heights Exam Centre website www.oakheights.co.uk/exam-centre or call on 0208 577 1827 to request an application form. We are now qualified as a BMAT exam centre. Students who wish to apply to OXBRIDGE can take the BMAT Test at our centre.
Science week was a hit with the students last week. They covered a vast range of topics, including Photosynthesis, Energy from Fuels, Pendulums, Stretching, Resistance and Titration. The year 8’s did a flame test and the year 7’s did a presentation on their Volcano Projects, where they had to make a volcano and show how chemical reactions work.
As part of the controlled assessments and examinations for the Year 11 History GCSE, we arranged a compulsory trip for the Year 10 students to visit the Imperial War Museum to view the Holocaust Exhibition next term. This term we took the year 10 students to the Victoria and Albert Museum in Kensington. The students gained a lot of knowledge whilst absorbing in the culture of the museum in future preparation for their history-controlled assessments.
Work experience for the year 11 students will be taking place on 22nd September – 26th September 2014. After discussing the types of placements they would like to do with Patricia King, our Work Experience Officer is working on getting the required placements for the students. This is a great opportunity for the students who are looking forward to doing their work placements and to get a feel of what the working life is all about.
