Story

Oxenhope C of E Primary School's

Blackwell Woods Project 2024

Oxenhope C of E Primary School have owned the Nature Area for many years.Throughout this time it has been enjoyed by the children for weekly outdoor learning, ‘wild worship’ and Winter Wonderland Christmas events.

The nature area was named 'Blackwell Woods' in honour of our previous Chair of Governors, Anthony Blackwell who sadly passed away in 2021. Anthony had a wish for the birdsong to thrive within the Nature Area, and that wish we would love to fulfil.

The Vision

As a school, we now have an ambitious vision for Blackwell Woods. Our vision includes introducing an outdoor structure to enable teachers to take learning outdoors in all weathers. We would love more trees, hedges, plants and even envisage a little vegetable patch for our children to harvest their own produce.

Friends of Oxenhope (similar to PTA) have launched this campaign to help to fundraise to bring this vision to life.

Thank you!

We would like to thank everyone getting involved in the challenge and everyone donating on this site. We genuinely hope to create an exciting, and usable space for many years to come.

About the charity

RCN 1162507
The role of Friends is to bring together parents, carers, teachers and children for social events to help build the community within the school. Most of these events aim to raise money to provide additional resources for the school that enhances the children’s learning experience. We aim to offer more than just fundraising; we want our events to give our children and parents a good time and a chance to enjoy themselves. We are extremely conscious of the ethos and morals of our school and community, and we try very hard when organising and planning events to respect this. Every penny that Friends raise is spent directly on resources and experiences for the children, which with ever decreasing funding and budgets for schools is a great thing!
