Oak Heights school in Hounslow has started a tuition centre in the evening

It is my pleasure to write this congratulatory letter to all of our year 11 students for their outstanding Further Maths Level 2 and Science GCSE results. Results release day is often very nerve wracking as I am sure you are well aware, however, the results achieved today have clearly reflected the hard work of our students coupled with the support of yourselves and our outstanding teachers at Oak Heights School.
GCSE examinations are now tougher than ever before and its important that students work early to avoid disaapointment. Oak Heights school in Hounslow has now started a tuition centre in the evening which will support students in Maths, English and Sciences as well as History. Our English teacher, a graduate from Oxford University will be leading the lessons at Oak Heights School. Support lessons are free to those students at Oak Heights who require it but will be chargable at a small fee to those who are from other nearby schools.
Including our 4 year 11 students who that sat their Maths GCSE exams early last summer, we have now set a very high standard within our school, with 5 A*'s , 8 A's and 1 B&C grade in maths GCSE. We would also like to congratulate a special student from year 11 who achieved 7 A* and 5A's in her GCSE's. Well Done !
I ask that you continue to work with us and support your child with their studying as you have done so far, in order for us to keep these outstanding grades consistent throughout all subjects.
I would like to remind you that due to changes with the DFE there will no longer be any early sittings for GCSE exams. All GCSE exams will be sat in Year 11 as linear examinations and retakes can only now take place in Maths and English during the November series.
Again, well done for all of your hard work! I look forward to seeing the same effort throughout the academic year not only from our year 11s but from all other year groups as well!
All internal exam results including end of term 1 results will be displayed on the school window and will be discussed during the next parent day which will be held in September / October. The date and times are yet to be confirmed.
A reminder that school starts in September dates can be found on the school website http://oakheights.co.uk/

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.

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.

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.

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.

Oak Heights School And The Exam Centre in Term 3 (Science)

As a part of Oak Heights Independent School's recent building expansion and refurbishment, we have had the opportunity to modernise and expand our science facilities. Our brand new laboratory allows our students to participate in science projects alongside their academic studies giving them a deeper understanding of the subject. This means they are able to fully engage with the methods used in physics, chemistry and biology and gain hands on experience with relevant, up to date and safe equipment. As well as running practical science courses in our labs for our external/private candidates, we also allow our internal students to take full advantage of our facilities.
Our pupils are currently taking part in "Science week" whereby each year group conducts a different experiment everyday. We hope that science week will encourage pupils to gain a keen interest in the technical side of scientific research as well as giving them first hand experience using standard lab apparatus. We are proud to have former students that have benefited greatly from our original science facilities achieving A* grades and progressing onto highly accredited sixth forms. We are confident that our newly refurbished labs will only further improve our already excelling students.
Here at Oak Heights we believe that your body's health and fitness are key components to a healthy academic mind. Every Tuesday and Friday our qualified coaches teach swimming and athletics. As a result of our most recent athletics session two of our pupils were scouted for the local athletics team trials one of which made the team!
This academic year pupils have had the opportunity to attend a variety of school trips. Some of these trips were as a part of their curriculum and others as a general treat for good behaviour. These included trips such as Charlie and the Chocolate factory in theatre, Ice Skating, bowling, laser quest, IMAX theatre , PGL and Hampton Court Palace.
This week was a very intense week as we came to the end of the examination period for our year 11 students and private candidates. Some of our year 11 students had attended Oak Heights School for almost 5 years so it was very moving to see them reach a milestone in their academic lives. We were left with some very touching testimonies.
