• OBS - Show Racism the Red Card

  Mon 25 Nov 2019

  On Tuesday 19th November, our Year 6 school captains were invited to a Kick Racism Out of Sport event hosted by Notts County at Meadow Lane. The children took part in a workshop which helped them understand different forms racism in sport can take and watched the Kick Racism Out of Sport film. After this, the children then got to meet some current Notts County players( Christian Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wes Thomas) and ex  professionals Jason Lee, Chris Iwelumo and Chris Freestone, who all work for the FA on their anti-racism campaigns.

    

  This afternoon was a great success.

  

• OBS SCHOOL COUNCIL WRITE TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITHY, COMMUNITY LEADERS & TO LOCAL SUPERMARKETS

  Sun 24 Nov 2019

  Last year OBS opened its very own FOOD BANK to help serve our OBS Community at the start of each school holiday/half term.

   

  This year we have extend this provision to not only have an OBS FOOD BANK but also … an OBS HYGIENE BANK!

   

  Our OBS School Council are passionate about making both of these 'banks' as successful as possible. They have worked together to write letters to our Local Authority Council and Local 'Basford Ward' Community Leaders to ask for their support and contributions.

   

  With Christmas approaching FAST …  we have discussed with our School Council how this can be a particularly difficult time of year for families and finances.

   

  The School Council came up with the idea of also writing to our local Supermarkets to help stock and source our Food & Hygiene Banks in the next 4 weeks before the Christmas 2 week holidays begin.

   

  PROUD TO BE ACTIVE CITIZENS SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY!
