Dear families and friends of Hob Moor Oaks,
At the weekend, we received some very sad news that Emily S had died. A wonderful girl who always had a smile on her face and a beautiful singing voice. She moved onto Applefields with her friends in July 2020. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, Applefields colleagues, NHS & Martin House Hospice staff. We are supporting her sister Sophie in school and we will carefully plan ways to remember her sister over the coming weeks.
Thank you to everyone for their efforts this half term, our first educational visits since the pandemic started, have been very successful. The children have represented the school amazingly well in the community. A big ‘shout out’ to Ian for driving all the children safely and keeping good care of our minibuses whilst they’ve not been in use  during the pandemic.
Two very special people are leaving our staff team this week. Suzi has worked here for 7 years and we will miss her creativity and love for the outdoors. Suzi has supported the development of our forest school offer in our Copse area. We promise to keep your legacy going. Enjoy your family time.
Ruth has supported many classes as a HLTA, covering teacher’s PPA. Ruth has developed our shared provision across school including our Reading Garden, Play Zone and Wheelchair dancing sessions. Thank you Ruth for your commitment and dedication to Hob Moor Oaks over the years. We will miss you! Enjoy your retirement!
It has been a very busy Autumn term, a big thank you our admin and wellbeing staff who keep us all in check! We have completed a whopping 46 EHCPS, 13 settling in reviews, supported many Child in Need meetings and much more! On behalf of our children & families, THANK YOU!  Enjoy our special Christmas video on Twitter! Take care and stay safe, Merry Christmas
