At Oak Bank School we make the most of every school day. The structure presented below is our typical school day timings. With a highly individualised curriculum this can differ. For example, those taking opportunities with external providers.
Each day, key worker time and enrichment activities are included to help set, monitor and develop social and emotional targets (OKRs). Our wide use of educational trips and visits give pupils every opportunity to experience the best of our community and beyond.
‘Our School’ video below gives prospective pupils an introduction to our school day. Please take time to view this ahead of home visits from Miss Blount (Home liaison & Attendance) as it may prompt or answer questions you may have, email : attendance@oakbank.beds.sch.uk
