The board of governors cannot ignore this surge of outrage anymore. We have built enough momentum to force them into a room and demand they stop this attack on our families.

Wrap around care at Oakwood was one of the decisions to send my child there and it is part of the ethos of the achool. Whilst I understand there is likely valid business reasons for closure as a full time user of the system I would like the school to make their reasons public to parents as to why they made this decision.
Absolute disgrace. Total lack of communication with zero parental involvement. With this ludicrous decision, the board of governors are on their way to pulling apart this "community orientated" school". So much for integrated education being the "future" of Northern Ireland!
Once again parents have not been consulted but told a decision. This service is one of the reasons parents choose Oakwood. I urge a public meeting to disclose the reasons for making this decision. Parents are just as important as the kids and need to be shown some respect. Families depend on this service.
The after school care is absolutely essential for me as a single working parent and was one of the reasons I chose Oakwood for my son. I cannot imagine how we would cope without it and urge the governors to reconsider.
This facility is a Hugh help to us working parents. We would be happy to pay an increased fund if that helps any to keep this facility at oakwood ups
I am deeply disappointed at the very vague explanation as to why the governors have chosen to close the after school facilties. My kids have both used after schools, not full time but when needed. The staff are excellent and do not deserve this as they have played a vital role in both my children's years at Oakwood. Please reconsider your decision.
Extremely disappointed at this decision and how it was communicated. A schools relationship with parents is vital and this has seriously damaged our confidence in Oakwood. Like many parents the wrap around care facility was a key factor in selecting Oakwood. I sincerely hope the school listens to the disappointment, anger and sheer chaos it has created for parents and children and reverses this decision - otherwise I foresee very difficult times ahead for all concerned.

You have parent governors on the board but don’t appear to have considered the parent view. I’m a granny not a parent but seems to me that Oakwood’s strength has been it’s sense of community and service to all. This decision is disappointing to me but devastating to families. If there are good reasons share them please!
