🤍 End-of-Term Celebrations
As you know, at ODA we like to ensure that parents have plenty of advance notice of upcoming events. Please take a moment to check the parent calendar for details of when your child will be performing at our end-of-term celebrations.
Don’t forget, the last day of term will also be our Christmas Celebration Day! Students are welcome to wear a festive Christmas jumper instead of their usual school jumper to help us get into the festive spirit!
🤗 Anti-Bullying Week
As part of our Character Curriculum, during the week of Monday 16th November, we’ll be taking part in Anti-Bullying Week. This year’s theme is “Break the Silence.”
We’ll launch the week with the return of Odd Socks Day on the Monday and special assemblies for both KS1 and KS2. Throughout the week, pupils across all Key Stages will take part in a range of activities, linked to this important theme, in partnership with the Anti-Bullying Alliance. See the 2026 flyer here.
It’s important to remind ourselves what bullying really means. Bullying or harassment is the repeated use of deliberate aggression with the intention of hurting another person over a sustained period of time.
At One Degree Academy, we encourage pupils to speak openly—both in school and at home—about any negative experiences, so that concerns can be addressed quickly and sensitively. This helps us maintain a caring environment where bullying is extremely rare.
Please make sure your child wears odd socks on Monday 16th November to take part in the launch of the week. You can also follow the week’s activities and highlights on our Instagram page (@1DegreeAcademy).
👩🏽⚕️ Flu Immunisations for Students in Reception through Y6
The school nursing team will be coming in to administer the flu vaccine on 24th November and the catch-up on 10th December. This is generally done by a nose spray but they also offer the alternative gelatine-free injection if preferred.
Consent – action required for all families
The Vaccination Team has introduced a new online consent system this year, called MAVIS. Your child’s details have been registered by us with the Vaccination Team.
All parents and carers are asked to complete a consent form, whether you wish to GIVE or REFUSE consent for your child to receive the vaccination.
This link is the consent link we were given by the vaccination team. Please note: We have been told by some that they are having issues with the link. We are in contact with the NHS in order to try and sort things out.
Please note that the school does not currently have access to the MAVIS consent system. The Vaccination Team will provide us with a list of children for whom consent has been given prior to the session, and their nurses will also have this information available to them on the day.
If your child misses their vaccination
If your child is absent or does not receive their vaccination during their scheduled session on 24th November, there will be a further opportunity to receive the vaccination on 10th December.
Questions about the vaccination
If you have any questions about the flu vaccination, the consent process or your child’s individual circumstances, please contact the Barnet and Enfield School Vaccination Team directly on 020 8150 7505, as the school is unable to provide medical advice regarding the vaccination.
