It honours all Black people from all periods of U.S. history, from the enslaved people first brought over from Africa in the early 17th century to African Americans living in the United States today.

On Friday, 9 September, Year 7 enjoyed the Get into Music Assembly. We at Oathall work with West Sussex Music and Love Music School to offer instrumental and singing lessons at the school during and after the school day. The tutors are all professional musicians and teachers who are passionate and enthusiastic about all styles of music. The main focus of these lessons is to make music fun, and to inspire and encourage creativity and confidence whilst progressing. Students can learn just for fun or work towards grades if that is of interest.
For more information on instrumental or vocal lessons, please click on this link to get in touch with our instrumental and vocal teachers directly, or send a message to Mrs MacTaggart using the form below:
