✔️ End of ODA After School Clubs

ODA After School Clubs and Sudhi Clubs are now finished for the academic year. Please ensure your child is collected at the regular time next week.

The information regarding ODA After School Clubs for the 2026/27 academic year will be released in September 2026.

⚕️ Medication - End-of-Year Protocol

All medication we have in the medical cupboard will be returned to students on the last day of term in their bags. New care plans will need to be completed on MCAS for the next academic year in September, if you wish to bring them back to be administered. No medication can be kept in school over the summer holidays.

🎉 STRIVE Fest 

As we know, STRIVE Fest will be taking place on Wednesday 15th July, 2:30-4PM. We are so looking forward to celebrating our community! 

A few key things to remember:

• On this day, dismissal is at the usual time. All parents will be asked to leave the playground promptly so that the ODA team can set up the playground, ready for the celebrations. 
• For safety reasons, no dogs are allowed at STRIVE Fest.
• Please bring your own blankets if you would like.

STRIVE Fest Performances

To help showcase the hard work of many of our students, a few clubs have been selected to perform during the festival. These clubs are KS1 Dance Club, KS2 Dance Club, Choir and our winners of ODA's Got Talent!

Food Donations

One of our favourite things to do is celebrate the diversity and talents of our school through not only performances and games but through a love of food. Each year we are blown away by the generosity of our donations of home-cooked, delicious treats from parents and carers. To help us manage the event better, please sign up here if you plan on making a dish for the event. Our team will then contact you closer to the time about plans for the day. Food should be dropped off at the school office on Wednesday morning at 8am. Any questions, please speak to Maria.
