Remote Learning Offer

By

When children are required to be at home, and unable to attend school – the learning does not stop at Ox Close Primary.

Since October 2020, schools have been required by law to provide effective education to those children who are unable to access face to face teaching; Ox Close Primary has risen to the challenge.

Further information regarding our Remote Learning Offer can be found here:

Remote Education Policy

If you have any further questions then please do not hesitate to contact Miss Bowden, Head of School.

Huge well done to all of the children for being amazing this week – we have had great levels of engagement once again in the live lessons and the children in school are also working very hard.

Staff have been really impressed with all of the work that has been coming in – keep up the hard work.

That goes to the parents/carers – huge well done to you as well as I know it is not easy juggling everything.

Ox Close Consultation – New Build and Amalgamation

By

Today, we have received further information from Durham County Council about the proposed new school build and amalgamation between Ox Close Primary School and Oxclose Nursery.
Information regarding this can be found here:
This proposal is provisionally planned to take place from April 2024 but is subject to the current consultation period, which is to be 6 weeks, and all appropriate planning.
The consultation period starts today and below is a copy of Durham County Council’s consultation document.
This document invites responses and includes details of how to respond if you would like to do so.  A copy of the consultation document will also appear in the news sections of the School and Nursery websites.
Even if this proposal is to become a reality, business will continue as normal at both the School and the Nursery until at least April 2024.
