OSA
About us
Welcome to the Oldfield School Association
We all want the very best experience for the children and families at Oldfield Primary School. The Oldfield School Association (OSA) is a very active charitable organisation, composed of a fun and friendly group of parents, teachers and carers who all want to contribute towards making the Oldfield experience even better.

The OSA has two purposes:
- School community – Creating a sense of community within the school by creating enjoyable events for children, families and teachers

How can I help?
We are always looking for support. We know that everyone leads busy lives, so we are happy to receive your efforts big or small. We ask all parents and carers of children at Oldfield to contribute between 1 and 5 hours per year. This would allow us to spread our efforts and ensure that the work doesn't fall to just a few people. Some of the ways in which you could help...
- Can you run or support one of our events? Even an hour on a stall really helps.
- Can you get a donation from your employer? Many employers have charitable funds available to support their local community – just asking a question could raise a substantial amount for us.
- Can you or your company donate raffle prizes?
- Become a member of our committee. We need people to help run and direct the charity to ensure that we are delivering the best possible outcomes for the children and the school.
We’ll keep you informed of upcoming events through office emails, the Oldfield School Facebook page and class reps.
If you’d like to join the Oldfield School Facebook page, please request access here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldfieldschool/
If you’d like to get involved in any way and help with the events that we are organising for our children, please contact your class rep via your class Whatsapp group.
Class reps are also invaluable in helping with school and OSA communications and building our school community. Each Class has one or more representatives.
Tickets to many of our events can be bought at PTA events
