💙 A moment of kindness worth sharing 💙 We recently received a lovely message from a local resident on Riley Drive, and we wanted to pass it on to our students and community. A North Oxfordshire Academy student, in full uniform, noticed a resident struggling to carry a delivery into her home and stopped to help — unprompted. She described him as polite, thoughtful, and genuinely kind, and said his small act made a difficult moment much easier. Although she didn’t catch his name, she felt it was important that the school knew. We may not yet know who this student is, but this moment says a lot about the values we’re proud of: respect, integrity, and responsibility — shown not just in school, but every day in the community. To the student involved: thank you. To everyone else: a reminder that small, thoughtful actions really do matter — and they don’t go unnoticed. 🌟
