King’s Oak Academy, part of the Cabot Learning Federation, is a community school that has served the children and families of Kingswood since 1921. To mark their centenary anniversary and further our commitment to supporting the growth, development, and legacy of the Kingswood community, they were delighted to welcome children and their families, King’s Oak alumni, residents, local authority organisations and community businesses to join them for a special afternoon tea.
The event was hosted in our wonderful new canteen and events space that was beautifully designed by Studio Lime, project managed by Faithful & Gould and built through modular construction by Integra Buildings. The catering for staff and students will be produced by Aspens.
Throughout the evening, visitors and students were able to reflect on the history of King’s Oak by looking at photographs, artefacts and videos that were kindly shared by the Kingswood Heritage Museum and King’s Oak alumni. They also listened to stories about learning at King’s Oak from current and former students.
Katherine Ogden, Principal, said “It is a privilege for King’s Oak to hold such a deep and meaningful role within the Kingswood community and it is moments like this that highlight the outstanding work that community partnerships and relationships can do for society. Thank you to everyone who has supported King’s Oak throughout the last 101 years, and we are looking forward to continuing to work closely with families, organisations and businesses to ensure that both King’s Oak and Kingswood continue to grow and thrive for many years to come.”
