Outdoor Learning Week
We love learning outdoors at Oaklands all year round. May is especially fun, as every year we celebrate all things outdoors with our Outdoor Learning Week. This year it was Carnival themed as we linked in with the local West Pilton Community Festival. We had so much fun! We had visiting dancers, a maypole, tie dying, drumming, colourful spray painting in the woods, stories and more. Best of all, we had a whole school Carnival Parade with a visiting musician, Jed, who led us all in some high energy drumming and dancing through the woods.

Sport Scotland Award Winners!
We are absolutely delighted to have won this year’s School Sport Award. We couldn’t be prouder of our young people who showed off their many and varied sporting talents when Sport Scotland visited our school. Have a look at the video to see some of their amazing talents in action.
Not only did we win the award, but we were also invited to the star-studded award ceremony in Glasgow which was a fabulous night out. One of our secondary pupils, Euan, represented Oaklands at the event. He looked extremely smart in his kilt and even made it into school the next day to tell us all about it. We’d also like to say a special thanks to our Sports Coach, Sharon Humble, whose hard work and incredible energy is the driving force behind this incredible achievement.
Well done Team Oaklands!
Oaklands wins at the edinburgh festival!
We are absolutely delighted to let you know that a group of pupils at Oaklands have won the award for ‘Most Impactful Film’ as part of the Edinburgh and Lothians Schools Film Competition.
The Oaklands film, Who We Are, made as part of our Our Edinburgh programme last year was enrolled into this year’s Edinburgh and Lothians Schools Film Competition, which runs as part of the Edinburgh International Festival.
The film was made by Beech and Spruce Classes and their staff teams and explored life in Edinburgh for young people at Oaklands.
