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.

OSA activities

The OSA has two purposes:

1. School community – Creating a sense of community within the school by creating enjoyable events for children, families and teachers

2. Fundraising – Providing much needed funds to support the education of the children and enhance school infrastructure

Use of funds

In the last few years, the OSA has provided

• An ocean themed educational day complete with learning bus visit

• DT equipment

• School playground equipment

• Sunshades for the Quad and KS1 playground (match funded by the school)

• Multi-gym equipment

• Adventure trail and bird hide

• 30 iPad’s 

• A 3D printer and consumables

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?

• Are you interested in creating a sponsored activity to benefit the school?

• 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/

We’d love it if you could also come along to the OSA AGM and other meetings to find out more and influence what we do.

If you’d like to get involved in any way and help with the events that we are organising for our children, please feel free to email osaoldfield@gmail.com to find out more.
