Oaklands Friends’ and Parents’ Association (OFPA)

The OFPA engage with the school and aim to enhance every student’s experience during their time at Oaklands.
As a parent/guardian of a child at Oaklands Catholic School and Sixth Form College you are most welcome to be a part of the OFPA.  A group of parents meet once a month supported by  Sarah Mann, PA to Headteacher, and our aim is to provide a closer link between the school and home so that we can work in partnership.
  • Our focus is to update parents/guardians on matters relating to the school
  • We help provide an opportunity for parents/guardians/students to communicate their views e.g. uniform, behavioral policy etc
  • We provide support and refreshments at school events e.g. Parents’ Evenings, Open and Information Evenings, Social Events
  • Second Hand Uniform Sales – Orders to be submitted by the last Wednesday of the month during term-time and collections available on the last Friday of the month.  Please see separate page below for further details and prices
  • Money raised by the OFPA helps fund many projects for all departments across the school so every student will benefit. Please help to support us when you can.
