⚽ Girls’ Football Fixtures
This week, the ODA Girls’ Football Team participated in their first fixture hosted at Enfield Grammar School. We are really proud of the students who represented ODA who displayed excellent Teamwork and Effort throughout. A huge thanks to Prince and Santasia who led the team and the amazing parents/carers who came out to show their support.
🌙 Ramadan
As we approach this special month of reflection and community, we want to ensure we are fully supporting our students who are participating.
Given the age of the students, if your child will be fasting during school hours, consent needs to be given by filling out this form. This will help us make sure they are comfortable and cared for during lunch and break times.
We look forward to celebrating this special time with our community.
👩🏾 Staffing Changes - Queen Mary's Class
We have told the children in Queen Mary's and Liverpool classes that Ayisha will not be returning to One Degree Academy. We wanted to let you know so you can support conversations at home. We wish Ayisha all the very best. Muna is now the class teacher for Queen Mary's and is excited to welcome students back for Spring 2!

🦾💜 Stronger Relationships Programme Registration for Fathers and Other Male Caregivers
Fathers are important for countless reasons, and research consistently shows that when fathers are positively involved, children and families thrive.
Home visits offer a powerful opportunity to build relationships with fathers and male caregivers (including step‑fathers, adoptive fathers, partners, uncles, grandfathers and others), but many are unintentionally left out.
The Stronger Relationships group offers an opportunity to include Fathers & Adult Male Caregivers living in Enfield and will be facilitated online by Race Equality Foundation starting Wednesday 18 February at 7:30pm.
