The Friends aim is to organise a number of enjoyable school community events and to raise as much money as possible to assist the school with financing great projects.

On the 15th October 2019 (at the yearly AGM), the Friends of Oakfield waved a heartfelt goodbye and thank you to the following people:

Louise Furneaux - Chair

Caroline Hampton Treasurer
