MOVING ON
Children from Oakley Vale Primary School move on to a
variety of secondary academies and schools including our
Brooke Weston family of secondary academies. We encourage
parents and children to visit these to ensure they find the right
provision for their child.
We welcome parents and carers into school, believing we are partners in
the education of your children. There are many opportunities for parents to
become involved in the work of the school. Parents’ time and expertise are
greatly valued and can be used in many ways in school.
Police checks and DBS checks are carried out on all adults helping in school.
If you are ever able to help, especially on a regular basis, please contact
the Principal.
We have many events for parents during the school year. These include
parents’ consultation evenings, residential and visits information evenings,
feedback from visits, information about PSHE education in school, monitoring
progress and SATs, curriculum, sports, performing arts and musical events.
As a family centred school, we have after-school activities through Healthy
Schools, sports and art. We also have regular assemblies and performances.

As a Brooke Weston Trust School we expect good attendance to ensure
all children are able to take full advantage of the education available to them.
Good attendance matters. Children who have good attendance:
• Get better jobs in the future
• Achieve better results
• Make better friendships
• Have good self-esteem and confidence
Good attendance means: 100% attendance where a child arrives on time
every day that they are well.

Awards are given for good attendance during and at the end of the year.
These are valued by the children who appreciate their parents’ support in
qualifying for them.
Parents can help their child reach their attendance awards through:
• Ensuring their child attends every day and is on time, in line with their
legal obligations
• Only booking holidays in school holiday times and avoiding any fines
• Making dental appointments outside of school hours
• Notifying the school by 8:30am on the first day of any illness absence
(the school will follow up any uninformed absence)
