Audiences at the Harmony Gardens at Oakfield Academy have been treated to two FANTASTIC performances of "Twelfth Night" by members of Shakespeare club, together with the hilarious experience that was "Twelfth Night Taskmaster." We have one more performance to go and will have a full report next week, but in the meantime, here is a photo of the whole cast performing the final song. We couldn't be more proud of all our Shakespeare club members - they are brilliant!

On Monday 10th July, we took a group of over 40 Year 7/8 pupils to Somerset County Cricket Club, to watch Day 1 of Somerset V Hampshire. The pupils were invited as a reward for committing to extra curricular sports clubs and representing Oakfield in fixtures throughout this year.
Somerset went into bat first and unfortunately the wickets fell quite quickly to start, with 4 out by lunch. The rain held off until lunchtime. The cricketers stayed dry while Oakfield Academy and all of the other Schools were drenched! Our pupils learnt more about the game, as many had never watched a professional cricket match before. Our lessons and clubs will benefit from the experience of today. Thank you to all of the pupils who came on the trip. Miss Pullen & Mrs Stickley on behalf of The PE Department

Please be aware that Miss Wilkes is currently not in school but is recovering from an operation.
During her absence Mrs Thomas is Head Teacher. We all wish Miss Wilkes a speedy recovery.
There will be no Film Club next week, it will start again in September and move to Tuesdays.
Sign up via Edulink.
