Teachers are trained to encourage successful learning habits of Students

Oak Heights has had an excellent start to the first term of this academic year. With new students joining every week, it seems like we are gaining popularity, which could be due the high GCSE grades achieved by our students each year. As an independent school, we have a high reputation which must be kept consistent throughout the year. This includes presentation organisation and education. Oak Heights has a set of rules which is followed by every student. Students who fail to comply with the rules will be punished, which usually results in after school detentions or for more serious incidents; Saturday detention or exclusion.
Oak Heights avoids the straight approach of learning solely for the purpose of passing relevant examinations and strives to implement innovative, fresh and cutting-edge methods of teaching so as to encourage broad-minded mentality and comprehension. Each student has their own special talents – some are brilliant at sport, others in drama and a few just have the innate ability to debate over anything and everything affecting society today. When it comes to teaching, emphasis is placed on examination technique, especially with the upper years. Past paper questions for homework and tests, once key topics have been covered.
This week at Oak Heights has been very moving, with upcoming trips and events, the students are excited to go Ice skating at the natural history museum in London. Our teachers are trained to encourage successful learning habits to ensure that all students achieve their potential in examinations and to ensure that the schools learning environment is professionally managed, welcoming and enjoyable for all. We do this by offering outstanding modern day teaching and traditional teaching methods to small focused classes that allow teaching and learning to be efficient. Over the years we have become popular with the exam centre. With examinations being booked almost every day we advise students to apply as soon as possible before the initial deadline to prevent paying a late fee. With many years of experience, we are professional at ensuring that each student is being examined in quiet and fair conditions as advised by the exam boards.
Oak Heights Tuition centre has taken it further, with Saturday classes instead of Friday night. Students will no longer need to stay after school on a Friday but come to school on a Saturday morning to attend the tuition classes. These classes are particularly important for the weaker students who lack understanding of homework or any outstanding class work. We also accept external students to attend these classes but be advised; places are filling up very quickly, so email us at enquires@oakheights.co.uk as soon as possible if you're interested.

Homework is very important

Students have settled in quickly within the first month of school after the summer holidays and we are already coming up to our first half term, which will commence from Monday 26th October to Tuesday 3rd November. Students will break up this Friday at the usual time. So far, this term has been a success and as you may or may not know there have been many improvements to the school compared to last term. This includes the new projectors in every class and new computer and IT resources. As well as the updated technology around the school, we have also made improvements to the science lab; which is being used more than ever before for beneficial practical learning skills which are particularly useful when it comes to GCSE practical examinations.
We would like to remind all students that we expect punctuality, uniform, homework and folders to be up to standards. Any student who does not meet the expectations will be asked to attend school on a Saturday. Be advised that spot checks will be taking place at random as well as folders and homework checks, so please ensure it is always organised. We would also like to inform you that we are pleased to introduce a homework service, which will give you an opportunity to know what homework has been set by each teacher for your child to complete. This new homework system will be starting soon.
At Oak Heights, we believe that homework is very important. We ensure that students have homework to complete every week and that it is complete up to standard. Our students understand that in order to achieve successful results, it is vital to complete class work as well as homework. As an independent school, Oak Heights has a high standard that must be attained throughout, this includes students; results, behaviour, discipline and homework. Homework is particularly important for the teachers to know that the students fully understand what they have learnt in class.
We look forward to seeing everybody happy and well after half term and most importantly fresh and ready learn. If you have any quires, feel free to contact the school via email for a swift reply. Alternatively you can call the school for an immediate response. It is important that parents communicate with us whenever necessary to prevent any misunderstandings and to review our student's progress. Thank you for your continuous support at Oak Heights.

How we promote success at Oak heights Independent School

At Oak Heights we offer teaching and learning to take place within small class sizes. Our children are happy, confident, and accustomed to establishing lasting relationships within a positive and peaceful atmosphere. We work closely with parents and keep them up to date with their children's progress. We also offer free after school tuition classes for our students. This provides parents with the peace of mind that their children are participating in extra curricular activities and benefiting from it, all inclusively.
Our academic timetable highlights the emphasis we place on the development of Mathematics and literacy. Consistent effort is also made to develop young minds and good study habits. Cultural and artistic awareness is never neglected and students become experienced in forming and developing their own opinions over current affairs through daily discussions and debates over both key national and worldwide concerns. We take care that, whether during lessons or in assemblies, students participate in discussions and debates in which opposing views are presented in a balanced way and students are encouraged to form their own views on the basis of a wide range of accurate facts. Workshops, school council meetings and assemblies are held on a regular basis to ensure political views are not promoted in any subject. School trips and excursions are organised to enhance this exposure, implanting the seeds for well-rounded personal growth. Oak Heights avoids the straight approach of learning solely for the purpose of passing relevant examinations and strives to implement innovative, fresh and cutting-edge methods of teaching so as to encourage broad-minded mentality and comprehension. Each student has their own special talents – some are brilliant at sport, others in drama and a few just have the innate ability to debate over anything and everything affecting society today. Individuality is cherished in a way that allows the students to think for themselves and pursue their interests and strengths and ultimately, build upon their self-confidence.
The School is actively looking to expand in Red Lion Court. Over the past five years the school increased by 20% in size and now serves students drawn largely from the local community. It strives to nurture, educate and cultivate the most adventurously bright, intellectual spirits to produce top future professionals. Through maintaining an unwavering disciplinary stance, the focus continually remains on teaching meticulously designed programs, which encompass all of the strengths of the national curriculum as well as other social dimensions to facilitate effective learning. Career success is of utmost priority. Both staff and students alike coordinate well in sharing the vital determination to pave the pathways to achievement; be it in the Law, Medicine, Finance or Arts employment sectors.

History of Oak Heights Independent School in Hounslow

In its 10 years, Oak Heights in Hounslow has had hundreds of students. Many of these students have found their years at Oak Heights amongst the happiest and most rewarding of their lives, both socially and academically. The School, established in 2006, is a small co-educational day school for pupils between 11 and 16, and is situated in one of the largest Boroughs in the UK, the Borough of Hounslow. The school focuses on getting students to think for themselves and to develop study skills as well as life skills. We also teach students to respect others and to contribute their time towards the community. Oak Heights School has a thriving relationship with its former students, many of whom still visit from time to time. The friendliness and formality of the school engenders an attitude whereby former students and staff see the college as a place to re-visit. Some former students have even returned to the school as members of staff. We hope that our ethos will inspire students to become tomorrow's leaders and pioneers. With the right level of discipline, guidance and by paying great attention to each individual student we hope the school will charter education beyond the national curriculum.
We are delighted to announce that Oak Heights, in Hounslow is one of the top performing selective Independent Schools in the Borough of Hounslow, achieving excellent GCSE results. In the past, the school has achieved numerous awards in addition to The Good Schools Guide for best GCSE results at an English Independent School. We are very proud of our students’ achievement and acknowledge the primary importance of their effort. Without their ambition, determination and hard work our school would not be as successful as it is. The success is mostly due to the standard of learning and advice that we give to our students such as: high expectations which are encouraged and nurtured by some very talented teachers, Small classes which promote engagement with teachers which is further enhanced by extending the normal teaching time and preparation for examination and constant regular testing which provides a vital benchmark for all.
Oak Heights Independent School, in Hounslow, is one of the few, if not the only, exam centre in the Borough of Hounslow, London which accommodates GCSE and A Level examinations, private tuition and science workshops to private candidates. Private candidates have the opportunity to sit their examinations on the school premises in a controlled, invigilated environment. A comprehensive understanding of the OCR, WJEC and Edexcel and Cambridge CIE GCSE and A Level syllabuses means advice can often be provided over deciding which modules/units are most suitable for different situations.

Week beginning 16th April 2015

Welcome back from the Easter holidays. We hope you had a lovely holiday and a break from work. Oak Heights are now in the final term of the year where all students are strictly focused on exams and revision. All other years will be focused on studying for their end of term exams while the year 11 students will fully focus on making sure they do enough revision for their GCSE exams. The years 11's were in school also throughout the holidays as they had revision workshops taking place. During the workshops the students got practise on exams based on techniques to answer specific questions and how to attain the most marks.
As a breather, we have our PGL trip on the weekend where we will go away to one of the centres where the students will be carrying out many activities together. We will be going to the Marchants Hill in Surrey. This will be the first trip away with the New Year 7's and the last trip the year 11's will be coming with us. We leave at 2pm on Friday and will return on the Sunday evening. This experience will be amazing for the students as they are away from their parents which mean they will be independent in everything they do.
We are also happy to inform you that our Tuition Centre will be up and running for admissions in September. We will be offering Mathematics, English, Science, Punjabi and also Arabic. We will be specialising in Maths and English exam preparation as many children often know and have studied well but do not prepare enough for their exams. The sessions will be held after school from Key stage 2-5. The students are also given material which they can use to practise and get a feel of what the actual exam will be like. All students will recieve numerous past papers which they can use as practise.
Offering Punjabi and Arabic will be interesting for both the students and the tuition centre as these courses have not been offered before in the past and will be a new experience both ways. We believe around the area there are not many places for elders and younger people to go and study these languages at their own speed. Not only do we just concentrate on the language, we also focus on teaching the history of the language and where it is originated from. This will help give the students a more insight into what they are learning. Having students joining our tuition centre will also mean that they may also be interested in Oak Heights School to study on a full time basis. We hope you show your interest within our centre and help us exceed!

OAK HEIGHTS SCHOOL IN HOUNSLOW AND THE TUITION CENTRE

Oak Heights are now approaching their end of term exams which will start on Wednesday. All end of term exams are very important for each student as it is a test which covers all the topics learnt from the beginning of the term. It is important for the students to show that they understand all the topics to a high level. Students are expected to pass at a high rate in order for them to move and stay on top of their class when the next term starts. Students who do not perform as well in class are then referred to after school workshops which are available for students who need extra help to gain the extra push they need in order to achieve higher results. For all students who attend Oak Heights School, tuition after school is free of charge which means they are able to enhance their knowledge and work on where they are not doing as well out of class time.
All practical exams which our year 11 students where carrying out are now all completed and the written papers have begun. This is the final stage for our students are their final GCSE exams are only a few weeks away. Oak Heights School gives full confidence and support to all the students who need the extra help to achieve their grades. Teachers help students during lessons and also after school. We now have revision week for all the students which means all years are studying for their exams especially the older years as this will affect their final GCSE papers.
Oak Heights Tuition Centre is also soon to offer Punjabi and Arabic at GCSE level. These tuition lessons will be held after school where anyone who wishes to learn Arabic or Punjabi at GCSE level is able to come in and sign up to be taught. If you're interested to sign up for either course, please contact the school or email us at enquiries@oakheights.co.uk. Depending on how popular the courses are and how high the demand is we also might consider offering Urdu in the near future.
We have a week of school left until we break up for Easter Holidays! Oak Heights School will be off for 2 weeks as it is the end of the term and also for Easter. On our first week back we will be going to PGL as our annual school trip as a school. Children will be away for the weekend where they will be carrying out many individual activities as well as carrying out other activities showing how well they are able to work within a team. As our older students have already been, we always aim to go to different PGL centres each year in order to make it interesting for all of the students. However, this is a first time experience for the year 7's as this will be their first trip away for the weekend with Oak Heights School.

OAK HEIGHTS SCHOOL TERM 2 NEWS

As well as Oak Heights offering exceptional education, we also offer students both internal and external to join Oak Heights Tuition. The tuition centre offers after school classes in order to give children the extra push which is needed in order for them to achieve to their highest capability. An initial test is given before they start which allows us to see what the weak and strong points of the children are and what can be done for them to improve. We work with the students to see which method they respond to and understand best when giving them support lessons.
As well as usual tuition which we as a school provide children, we also have after school workshops which take place for the year 11 students in order for them to get enough exam practise to be confident when taking their actual GCSE's. The tuition centre in Hounslow offers English, Maths, Science, French, Spanish and History after school. These workshops are vital as there is only 3 weeks left until half term which means when the students are back their exams will commence.
On the brighter side at Oak Heights in Hounslow we have also organised many tournaments for the children to also have a break from all the exam stress. We will be having a basketball tournament within the next few weeks where all students participating have chosen their teams and will be competing against one another. This tournament will take place at Osterley Leisure Centre. Other tournaments we are going to be organising will be football and Goals and lastly a badminton event which will also take place at Osterley Leisure Centre.
We also have our school trip taking place after the half term on the first weekend back. This trip will last 3 days where we will be going on Friday and returning Sunday evening. This is an exciting event for all the students as well as the teachers who are participating as there are many different activities which take place. These activities are equally fun for children and adults which make's the trip a fun weekend away for all. This is a good opportunity for all the children to be active and carrying out many activities which will help them improve their confidence and team work skills.
At Oak Heights School in Hounslow we aim to balance out the work load with many fun activities. Students should feel as if they are awarded for their hard work and efforts as it would make them want to work even harder. Children are given the luxury to give us their best chosen places to attend for school trips and we then try out best to organise a trip best fit for all of the students. This helps the students to feel as if they are apart of the school and their intake is vital to us.

The raffle winner was a fellow student from year 8 which means he does not get any homework for the whole week! Second runner up was a year 11 student which means he is able to eat anything for lunch healthy or not! At Oak Heights School we ensure all students are eating healthy food and not consuming fizzy drink. This however will be a one off exception. The third runner up was a year 9 girl, the year 9 girl was able to join the end of term trip for the winning house team. We are delighted to say we managed to raise £125 from just the raffle event. Oak heights still needs to sum up the money raised from the other events and sum up the total amount which we will donate. Fund-raising will commerce until the end of the week for Children in Need charity.
On Friday the year 11's will be going to a trip relevant to History as they go to The Tower of London. This would be a good experience for the students where they will gain knowledge of many items which are seen to be symbolic of Britain. These items at first where only privileged where as now they are able to be seen. Following onto next week the year 9 and 10's have another compulsory trip where they will be visiting the Theatre Show watching "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time"

Oak Heights school end of term 1

Oak Heights School is getting closer to their Christmas holidays. Charity week is now over and the students had great participation in fund raising and done an excellent job. Throughout this week and next week we have study week for the children to study and be ready for their end of term exams. Alongside the fun the students have had at Oak Heights School the children will now have to put their heads down and study hard!
It has been an exciting and eventful week at Oak Heights as the students have been busy on school trips. Mid week Oak Heights had their wonderful annual Christmas trip which this year was to Winter Wonderland Ice Skating Rink. The children had an amazing time as it was a first time experience for most. Many children did not know how to skate and by the end of the session where skating which was a great achievement. Organising a trip to Winter Wonderland was a first for Oak Heights School as usually during Christmas we attend the National History Museum but we thought changing the annual school trip would be a great surprise for the students. Both the students and teachers who supervised the trip had great fun and having time left over we also went on many rides after skating and having lunch together.
Alongside the fun trip the children had this week we also had our compulsory English trip which was to the theatre as well for students within year 9 and 10. The trip was allocated to the theatre to watch 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. This is a mystery novel written in 2003 by writer Mark Haddon which was studied last year by the year 10's and currently studied by the year 9's. Watching the show will give the children an insight to understand the story line in more depth and get a more vivid image of what the story is about. Having a more vivid image will allow the children to expand their minds when doing their written work in class based on this play to attain good marks.

All students at Oak Heights are so excited to see how much money we are able to raise and help our community. As the week begins we have our first events taking place at first break and lunch. All activities are organised by the school council members of each year considering ideas from their fellow class students. We aim to create strong characters throughout Oak Heights School with good communication skills and be moulded into leaders. Whether the children are in year 7 or 11 they are all expected to be able to organise and carry out events managing all aspects. We have many functions starting as the week begins starting with The Ultimate skills challenge, Treat or Treat and Pin The Eye Patch On Pudsey all hosted by students in year 9.
We will come to see the outcome of the money raised by the end of the week and hopefully we will succeed just like last week with our Remembrance week charity donation. Oak Heights aim to achieve the highest and to participate within many occasions as possible. It is delightful seeing how supportive the children are at Oak Heights who are willing to take out their time to organise and raise money for charity helping out other vulnerable children.
All events are carried out fairly where all students get an equal chance of participating in all the events and receiving a chance to donate. Money will be collected at the end of the week from all the events and then the total amount will be donated towards the charity.

Students from all years where welcome to be apart of teams and come play football on Wednesday. All students participating will be supervised by Mr Dhillon and Mr Louis. Thursday will also be when the raffle winner will also be announced where the children will know who the winners are!
