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!
Uniform Sales
Many thanks to everyone who supported the recent Pre-Loved Uniform Sale, which raised £280 for the school. This takes our fundraising to over £5000 for the year so far – thank you all so much for your support. As a reminder, we welcome donations of uniform at any time throughout the year to keep us stocked up. The uniform should be in good condition, washed and ready to sell. Donations can be handed in at reception in a bag labelled ‘OSA’. We will be trialling a weekend sale next term for those unable to make the after-school sales. More details to follow after half-term.
Quiz Night
The next OSA event is the annual quiz night on Friday 7th March, from 7pm. Please do come along and join us, it is a lot of fun! Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. Tickets cost £10 per person, which includes the ever popular veg chilli supper, or £55 for a team of six. Tickets are available to purchase via ParentPay; the deadline for buying tickets is Monday 3rd March. If you’re unable to make it but would like to make a donation to OSA, then you can also do this via ParentPay. There will be a cash/card bar available throughout the evening, along with a raffle and a game of ‘heads and tails’ to round the evening off (please bring £1 if you’d like to play). Please note this event is for over 18’s only. If you have any accessibility issues, please email osa@oldfieldschool.com in advance and we will do our very best to accommodate your needs.
Bath Half Marathon
We’re delighted to share that Daniel Moore, Head of History, is running the Bath Half marathon on behalf of OSA this year. Please support Mr. Moore if you can through the fund-raising link here https://gofund.me/7cdc94d2. He is our sole runner this year, so it would be great if we could raise as much as possible in support of his efforts. Thank you Daniel, you are amazing!
Why it matters
Thanks to your support and generosity OSA has been able to donate over £5,000 back to the school already this academic year. 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; we hope you all enjoy a wonderful festive break, and we look forward to seeing you at more OSA events in 2025.
