Oldfield School Association

Welcome to OSA (Oldfield School Association)

We’re a small charity run by a group of parents, carers and staff. We have two main aims:

To raise money to enhance the education and wellbeing of students.
To create a greater sense of community here at Oldfield.

New volunteers are always welcome regardless of how much time you can give – please email osa@oldfieldschool.com if you’d like to volunteer or find out more. It’s a lovely way to meet other parents and feel more closely connected to the school, and to do some good along the way! You are welcome to pop along to our in-person meetings or message us for the Teams link for our next Teams meeting.

Our next meetings are as follows:

Dear Parents and Carers,

At the event and the OSA team will be selling mulled wine and mince pies to keep everyone going.

Why it matters

Thanks to your support and generosity, OSA is able to donate thousands of pounds to the school each year. Recently, we have funded Pupil Premium places for the Duke of Edinburgh scheme, bought some new laptops for Product Design and teaching tablets for the EAL department, funded additional lessons for trumpet club, and we will be part-funding several school trips in the coming months. Our aim continues to be to enhance the education and wellbeing of all students at Oldfield, and we couldn’t do it with you.

Thank you for your continued support.
