Oak Class is where the learning journey begins at Woodborough School and our Early Years Team – Mrs Parry, Mrs McCormick and Mrs Bishop all look forward to meeting and welcoming you.  Please give us a call if you’d like to come and visit – every day is an open day!

How do I apply for free school milk?

We will register all children in Oak Class to receive free school milk as soon as they commence school, until they reach the age of 5.

When your child turns 5 years old you will need to register for the scheme and pay a
subsidised price of approximately £14 per term, if you wish them to keep having school milk. Find more
information here: School-Milk-Registration-Form

How do I apply for and purchase a parking permit?

All parents should park at the Woodborough Social Club in Smithy Lane when bringing or collecting their children from school. There is a safe field path leading from the car park to the school with a staffed crossing point on the main road. A yearly charge of £30 is paid for a parking permit and covers up to 3 vehicles. We ask parents not to park on the approach roads to the school as these become congested, dangerous for pedestrians and cause inconvenience to the residents of nearby houses.

Find a link to purchase your parking permit from Woodborough Social Club here: Woodborough Club Parking Permit Information

How do I notify the school that my child needs to take medication?

If your child has an ongoing medical condition, e.g. asthma or allergies, and requires medication in school, please complete and return the Ongoing Medication letter 2020

How do I apply for Breakfast Club and/or After School Club?

At the current time we are uncertain whether our before school Breakfast Club and after school Fun Club
provision will be able to operate from the beginning of the new academic year. As soon as we receive guidance we will make you aware.
