A Message from OWPS

Our Headteacher, Mr Marks writes...

Dear Parents and Carers,

What a wonderfully festive week we have enjoyed in school, from Christmas jumper days and Elfridges to our much-loved Christmas dinners. It has been a joy to see the children embracing the Christmas spirit and sharing so many happy moments together.

As we head into the holidays, we know many of you will be looking forward to spending special time with family and friends. The new year also brings new beginnings for three valued members of our teaching team. Mrs Esposito, Ms Toyne and Mrs Simmons will be moving on to exciting new roles at the end of this term and will be greatly missed by our whole school community. This week, children and staff were able to give them a warm and fond farewell, and we wish them every happiness and success in their next chapters.

On behalf of everyone at the school, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to welcoming you back at the school gate on Tuesday 6th January 2026.

Warmest wishes,

 

Mr Marks

Headteacher
