🎨 A Journey Through Art and Time at Great Oaks College

Our Life and Living students have been exploring the work of renowned artists and experimenting with a variety of artistic techniques, developing their skills through a journey across art history, from Aboriginal art to Picasso.

Art provides opportunities to support wellbeing, develop creativity and encourage self-expression.

As part of the project, students created self-portraits that reflected not only their appearance but also their individual interests, passions and things that bring them happiness. By incorporating images sourced from the internet into their portraits, students produced personal and distinctive pieces of artwork that celebrated their individuality.

Take a look at some of the artwork produced by our Life and Living students! 🎨

Yesterday evening, Great Oaks opened its doors for the first open evening at our new site! 🌟

Our staff transformed the classrooms to showcase our outstanding resources, and it was wonderful to have the opportunity to chat with prospective parents and professionals about our setting and the support we provide.

We haven’t even been here for a year yet, but it already feels like home. 🏡💚

And we’re not stopping there! We’ll be holding another open evening this Thursday at our Triangle site in Hounslow.

Building Skills for Life Through Volunteering
Our LL2 learners, alongside Dylan, have been actively engaging in their volunteering placements and what a fantastic experience it’s been!
From promoting the Syon Park Foodies Festival through leafleting, to preparing animal food at the SEN farm, our learners have been developing a wide range of transferable life skills that will support them well beyond the classroom.
These opportunities help build:
✅ Confidence and independence
✅ Communication and teamwork
✅ Responsibility and time management
✅ Practical, real-world work skills
Volunteering not only strengthens employability but also allows our learners to contribute positively to their local community, gaining a real sense of achievement and pride in their work.
We’re incredibly proud of their enthusiasm, resilience, and the way they’ve represented the college out in the community. 👏

Wellbeing Wednesday
Last Wednesday, our staff came together for a wellbeing walk on our INSET day – showing support for our Deputy Principal, Rich, and his wife Sophie 💙
In July 2025, Sophie – a Speech and Language Therapist – was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour. While going through radiotherapy and chemotherapy, she has shown incredible strength, raising nearly £25,000 for The Brain Tumour Charity.

The walk was a chance for us to stand together and show support. At Great Oaks, we don’t just support our students – we support each other too.
You can help by sharing this post and donating if you are able to. More information is available on Sophie’s fundraising pages .

🏫 Learning with Purpose 🏫

We love that our students have an active role in maintaining their college.

Our curriculum is designed to help students develop the skills they need for both work and everyday life, and our buildings play a key part in making this learning meaningful. There are no worksheets here – instead, students take part in real, purposeful tasks that make a genuine difference to their environment.

This hands-on approach not only builds practical skills but also encourages pride and ownership. You can see that pride in action, as our students work together to help maintain and care for their college.

☀️ Sun's out, fun’s in ☀️
Students have been making the most of the recent sunshine, taking their learning outdoors and embracing every opportunity to explore beyond the classroom. At Great Oaks College, learning happens in practical and purposeful ways, helping students to build skills for independence and employment, whilst enjoying their environment.
Learning in the sun brings so much positivity, energy and joy to our day.
