On Monday 4th January the Government announced another national lockdown and so with effect from Tuesday 5th January 2021 we are only open for children with an EHCP, those who are within a family where parents are classified as Key workers or those who have been contacted directly by the school. All other pupils have been transferred to remote learning.
We are maintaining our Year Group bubbles with staff being split into two teams. One team working in school while the other team work remotely supporting the pupils online.
Remote learning will take place via DB Primary for all children in EYFS and KS1 (Years 1 & 2) and via Google Classroom for KS2 pupils.
Teaching staff can be contacted by their year group emails as per the details below (emails will be responded to between 9am – 4pm each working day):
| Nursery | Reception | Year 1 |
| nursery@oakview.herts.sch.uk | reception@oakview.herts.sch.uk | year1@oakview.herts.sch.uk |
| Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 |
| year2@oakview.herts.sch.uk | year3@oakview.herts.sch.uk | year4@oakview.herts.sch.uk |
| Year 5 | Year 6 | |
| year5@oakview.herts.sch.uk | year6@oakview.herts.sch.uk |
We are not able to offer visits to the school at the current time so we have created a Virtual Tour.

Eco Classroom
You will have noticed that the area that previously housed our African Huts has work starting on it and we are pleased to advise that we have an Eco Classroom in development. The school were fortunate in obtaining a Healthy Pupils Capital Bid in 2019 but due to the Covid-19 pandemic our build was delayed.
Please look at our Eco Classroom page in the Our School section for regular updates of progress.
