Oak Heights school in Hounslow is now offering music lessons

Welcome back! We hope you all had a nice break during the half term. Oak heights are now in the second half term before we all break up for Christmas! As we are approaching Christmas, the time has come when the school goes out for the day for our annual ice skating trip at the National History Museum. Every year towards Christmas the students are taken out on a one day school trip to the National History Museum ending the day by going onto the ice skating ring! This is an exciting outing for the Year 7's especially as it is the first trip they will be participating in with Oak Heights School.
As you may know the new Music classes have now begun. Classes are offered to year 7 & 8's only to start off the classes to assess progress .These lessons are now organised to be every Thursday's once a week. The students will be taught by professional tutors alongside using professional equipment. As a small school, we feel very privileged to be recognised as being members of the Federation of Music. Music classes will be very intriguing to assess as we may have the chance to discover many talents within the students! Oak heights already known as being very academically strong will also be known to be very creative and talented through music classes.
Having the classing proceeding brings us closer to develop our own Christmas music band. Classes as such encouraged students to be more creative and willing to be more active and not to be just wasting energy playing video games!
Previously Oak Heights dedicated a week on E-Safety learning before the half term in order to educate them the risk of being safe using social networks and being involved with the media. As part of Student Safe Guard month, we are now approaching Anti-Bullying week. We take bullying very seriously at Oak Heights School and believe every student should feel safe and happy coming and studying with us. Bullying is not tolerated. Poetically speaking is one of the forms we believe the students are able to express what they feel about bullying and how they would feel if they were bullied. Educating children about bullying is very important as we believe that children should know and understand how to overcome bullies and why it is not acceptable to be bullying others yourself.
Mrs Sandhu will be carrying out different workshops related to Anti-Bullying week in order to educate the students and acknowledge them about the affect bullying may have on individuals.
We believe we have progressed well coming back to school after half term and have many exciting events taking place before we break up for Christmas holidays. Overall this half term should be very exciting and productive for the school and students who are participating within.
