Oak Heights School – GCSE Results and performance tables 2014 and the Exam Centre

It is my pleasure to write this congratulatory letter to all of our year 11 students for their outstanding Maths 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 maths teacher Mr Louis.

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 announce that our GCSE results for 2014 have been outstanding. Achieving 89%, minimum of 5 GCES (A* – C including Maths and English Language) and with its most recent ‘ Good’ OFSTED report the school is progressing well.

Oak Heights School - Sports Relief 2014

The school has set a task for its Student council members to think out of the box and come up with something new and exciting, something that we have not done before. The Oak Heights Swimathon was a great success so lets keep that up !
The student council at Oak Heights will have to work as a group, will then have to write down with a full explanation on how they will manage the project. At the end of the first stage student council members will have to write a full written account of the processes for their product or service. This will then be presented to the senior staff members at the school, so get your thinking caps on!
This is a great opportunity for all members of the Student Council to show their individual skills. Our student Liason officer will be here to help and guide all members. Failure to contribute will result in a deduction in House Points and will be taken off the School Council.
This project will help develop personal, communication, presentation and group skills. The project may also be submitted to the House Of Commons Speaker’s School Council Awards 2014 competition.

Term 2 - Oak Heights School

I would like to give you all a warm welcome back. I hope you had a restful break and that all students are now motivated and ready for the new term ahead.
I am pleased to say that our end of term assembly had a very positive turnout. Well done to those of you that received certificates. Also, a very big well done to the Blue house for gaining the most points last term winning themselves a trip to the IMAX theatre which will take place in due course. It was lovely to see how many students worked really hard throughout term one; I look forward to seeing the same motivation and positivity this term. Due to its success the House Points System will continue throughout the academic year.
This term will be very busy for our year 11 students. Coursework and practical exam mocks will be taking place, and there will be plenty of exam practice for the upcoming GCSE exams. In order for our Students to gain the most out of their school study, it will no longer be compulsory for year 11s to attend sport on Tuesdays (start date tbc) and Fridays (starting from Friday 17th January). They will instead attend morning lessons in preparation for their exams. A study leave period will commence during term 3; these dates will be confirmed closer to the time.
There will be a series of great local trips throughout the next two terms for all of our students. I would like to remind parents of our year 7 theatre trip taking place on Wednesday 22nd January.
End of term exam results will be available to view on our school window within the next few days.
