This assembly explores what kindness is, by saying, “Thank you,” “I appreciate you,” “You are valued!” or “Are you OK?” It’s letting people know that they are noticed and valued.
Is criticism positive or negative?
This assembly looks at examples of criticism and the impacts words and actions have.

Our year 8 students got a taste of the world of work last week as they took part in Take Your Child to Work Day.
This initiative gave students the opportunity to witness first-hand what happens in the work place.
Pictured is one of our students was lucky enough to go to Christie’s (London) with her aunt who is a Client Governance and Data Protection Director.
Successful people maintain good habits and are consistently goal oriented. This assembly looks at a range of successful people and how they got to be where they have.
We were thrilled to welcome back local radio celebrity Jack Hayes from More Radio (aka ‘Jack The Lad’) to Oathall recently with his Dare to Dream team to deliver an inspirational programme from the Love Local Jobs Foundation that challenges students to change the way they think.
As a professional entertainer, Jack uses his skills to engage with students in a unique and memorable way. His presentation served to promote and reinforce core themes central to wellbeing, employability and positive futures; ultimately encouraging our students to believe in themselves and follow their dreams.
Oathall students have enjoyed more success at the Girls STEM Inspiration Trip. The event allowed them to enjoy taking part in activities designed to introduce students to some new maths, including imaginary numbers.
Our students had a fantastic time and participated in activities exploring STEM careers, and were shown how maths is used in space exploration.
The Dragon Race was a tremendous success, and our girls showed great enthusiasm in this team event. Participants were split into four teams and raced against each other to solve challenging maths questions. With every question they answered correctly, the team got to put a card down to build their dragon – the longest dragon won.
Our students won 1st equal place (two teams), and everyone involved had a fantastic time.
Thank you to Ms Ramsey for organising the event, and congratulations to our students.
Oathall students have taken part in two maths challenges so far this year; the Senior (Year 11) and the Intermediate (Years 10 and 11).
The challenges aim to allow our students to use mathematical thinking, logic and problem solving to work on several questions that look beyond the national curriculum.
Fifteen of our students participated in the Senior Maths Challenge, which is open to Years 11, 12 and 13. Entering this level allowed our students to really push themselves in preparation to move on to A-Level mathematics.
In total, Oathall had twenty students across years 10 and 11 participating in the Intermediate Maths Challenge this year. Five of our students managed to score highly in the challenge, progressing them onto the next round of the competition, where two have achieved a merit.
Looking forward to the Junior Maths Challenge, which is aimed at Year 7 and 8 students, so far we have had 105 students sign up to take part at the end of April.
We are looking for eight students from years 7, 8, 9 and 10 to take part in our live bake-off on Friday 17 June 2022.
We will supply the ingredients and equipment. You just need to bring the decorating items.
We are looking for a novel, well-presented and tasty creation to impress the judges.
This year’s theme is: the Fifa World Cup
To be in with a chance of being a participant, just bake your creation at home, take a photo of yourself and your cake, and either email it to Mrs Kirkpatrick ([email protected]) along with your name, tutor group and recipe (including ingredients). Alternatively, just print it off and hand it to your group tutor by Monday, 6 June.
