At OA-Cambridge, we’re proud of our three-year outreach partnership with King Hedges Primary School, working closely together to provide targeted outreach support for pupils.

Through this collaboration, our teams have been able to build positive relationships, respond to individual needs and make a meaningful difference to children’s experiences in school.

The impact of this work is clear:

"The care, consideration and partnership working is wonderful, and we genuinely see an impact in the children."

A great example of how working together can help children feel supported, understood and able to thrive.

👏 We're proud to share that OA-Suffolk has been recognised among the top 5% of schools in Suffolk for engagement with the Pol-Ed programme during the 2025/26 academic year.

This recognition reflects our commitment to providing students with high-quality learning that goes beyond the classroom, helping them develop the knowledge, confidence and skills to stay safe, support their wellbeing and make informed decisions throughout their lives.

Through the Pol-Ed programme, our students explore important topics including healthy relationships, emotional and physical wellbeing, personal safety and understanding the law, supporting them to thrive both in and beyond education.

A huge well done to our staff for their dedication to delivering meaningful, engaging learning that makes a real difference to our young people.

At Olive Academies, we know that our greatest strength is our people.

Every day, our colleagues build the trusted relationships that help young people feel safe, supported and ready to thrive. That's why we're committed to creating a culture where staff feel valued, supported and able to build rewarding careers making a lasting difference.

At our Havering academy, Mrs Tracey's retirement is a wonderful example of that culture. Having supported children and families at OA-Havering since the very beginning, her kindness, compassion and dedication have positively impacted generations of young people.

Thank you, Mrs Tracey, for everything you have contributed to our academy community. We wish you a long, happy and well-deserved retirement. 💐

What a day! 👣

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in Olive Walk 2026.

Across Olive Academies, staff and students came together to walk, fundraise and support Olive Academies Foundation, taking on routes across our local communities and enjoying a day filled with teamwork and community spirit.

Together, we have raised an incredible £3,538 for the foundation, helping to provide enriching opportunities and experiences for children and young people across our academies.

The numbers are equally impressive. Collectively, participants walked approximately 1.4 million steps. That’s almost the entire length of Great Britain or more than 26 marathons back-to-back or the equivalent of climbing Snowden more than 100 times in distance alone! 👏

From riverside walks and country parks to beaches, piers and local community routes, every academy played its part in making the day such a success.

Thank you to our staff, students, families, friends and supporters who donated, organised fundraising activities, cheered us on and helped make Olive Walk 2026 one to remember.

For many of our pupils, engaging with education again is a significant achievement after experiencing disruption, barriers and challenges before joining us.

We're proud that:
✔️ Attendance across the trust this academic year is 71.5%, significantly higher than the latest national overall attendance for Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) of 57.2%.
✔️ The average attendance of pupils before joining Olive Academies is just 48%.
✔️ Just 16.8% of our pupils are classed as Severely Absent (attendance below 50%), compared with the national PRU rate of 40.4% – less than half the national rate.

These figures reflect our commitment to removing barriers to education and supporting some of the most vulnerable children and young people to re-engage with learning.

Because every percentage point represents more time in the classroom, stronger relationships with trusted adults, and greater opportunities for young people to achieve positive outcomes.

🌱 Supporting students to learn, grow and thrive through the power of partnership.

Our long-standing partnership with Circles Alternative Education gives OA-Thurrock students the opportunity to develop practical skills, gain vocational qualifications and build confidence through hands-on experiences including animal care, cooking and woodwork.

The impact of the partnership was recently recognised when one of our Year 9 students received a Jack Petchey Foundation Achievement Award, celebrating his outstanding attitude, commitment and the care he showed while helping with the birth of chicks on the farm.

More than just vocational learning, this partnership helps young people develop independence, teamwork and self-belief while providing experiences that prepare them for the future.

A huge thank you to everyone at Circles Alternative Education for their continued support and for helping our students achieve success beyond the classroom.
