Whilst Oakhill CofE Primary School has an enviable pupil to teacher ratio, we have some small class sizes in Reception and Years 2 and 5. This impacts the government funding for the school, so we're keen to invite more pupils to join our Alderton and Dumbleton bases respectively.

Defibrillator
Alderton's defibrillator can be found at: Old red telephone box, Cambridge Square, Alderton, GL20 8TZ. The telephone box is at the junction of Blacksmiths Road, Beckford Road and School Road and the defibrillator is available 24 hs per day, 365 days per year.

***To use the defibrillator you must call 999 to get the access code.***
Note: you can’t call 999 from the telephone box as the line isn't connected anymore so you'll need to call from a mobile, go home or ask a local resident. The defibrillator is designed for use by non-experts and will talk you through its use. |
