Ox Close was proud to send our Children’s Leadership Team to the Remembrance service at the Cenotaph today to lay our wreath. Our children were impeccably behaved and acted as fantastic ambassadors at such an important event. It was wonderful to see them alongside so many other members of our local community.
Mini Police at Ox Close
This afternoon, our Mini Police from Years 5 and 6 have been working as a team to clear the grounds of rubbish. Their litter picking session has certainly helped our school look much tidier, but has also shown how both staff and pupils are working to develop our school community spirit. Keep up the good work!
Croft Circuit Racing
Yesterday, six children from Year 5 took the kit car that they had built with Mrs Cox over to Croft Circuit to race against around 15 other teams from different schools. Having worked together to construct, wire and decorate their vehicle, the children took part in slalom, drag and sprint races around the venue. The team did brilliantly and their behaviour was exemplary. Well done team!
Crank It Up!
On Friday 5th July, Year 5 took two teams off to Beamish to compete in the Crank It Up competition. They had the chance to present and test the cranes that they had constructed out of K’Nex, as well as the group presentations that they had put together. They did a fantastic job and came away with two awards. Well done Year 5, we look forward to returning to the competition again
soon!
Father’s Day Lunch
Thank you to all our visitors today who made the Father’s Day Lunch such a success. It was clear that everyone enjoyed the Fish and Chips but, more importantly, they enjoyed the company of so many different people.
A big thank you also goes to Mrs Longhorne and the ladies in the kitchen – it’s not an easy feat to prepare, cook and serve 347 meals in just one day.

Fun to Cook – Spring Term 2019
This term, a small group of children have been lucky enough to work our school cook, Karen, and catering company, Taylor Shaw, on an exciting initiative called Fun to Cook.
Over the four sessions, the children have learnt some simple recipes and discussed healthy eating. They have then shared their experience at home and with other children in school.
We hope to run this initiative again.
Red Nose Day 2019
Our bake sale was a huge success – everyone enjoyed making, buying and most importantly eating the delicious treats. A great way to raise money for Comic Relief. Well done Team Ox Close.
