Olive Walk 2026
The Olive Walk returns this year with an exciting new format - each academy will be embarking on a walk in their local area on a weekday, enabling all of our students to join in the fun.
On Thursday 9th July, our staff and students will set off walking for a great cause, and for some healthy competition - which academy can raise the most money for the foundation? Watch this space!
Olive Walk 2025
The 2025 sponsored Olive Walk took place on Saturday 28th June from 12:30pm and was hosted by colleagues from OA-Nene Valley.
The walk was around the lovely surroundings of Ferry Meadows, near Peterborough. It was an afternoon of fun for walkers and family members, making the most of the facilities at Ferry Meadows and offering a BBQ after the walk and fun team games (e.g. rounders).
All funds raised will go to benefit marginalised young people through our academies being funded to offer life enhancing opportunities and experiences.

Olive Walk 2024
On Saturday 12 October 2024, staff, students, families and friends from across Olive Academies came together at Thorndon Country Park in Brentwood for a fantastic afternoon of fresh air, community and connection.
The event, organised by our Havering and Thurrock academies, brought together walkers of all ages, taking part in a relaxed route through the park’s scenic trails. Laughter, conversation and plenty of muddy boots made for a memorable day that perfectly captured the Olive spirit of togetherness, wellbeing and adventure.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the event such a success.
