We need your Christmas chocolate, sweets & treats this Christmas!

We are planning to run a chocolate tombola this Christmas during the intervals of the ‘We Will Rock You!’ performances.

We would love you to help by donating Christmas chocolates, sweets and treats over the next week. (No nuts or alcohol please) Why not take advantage of the numerous offers available this weekend to bag yourself some bargains and bring them into the school reception anytime before Tuesday 5 December. 

Thanks for all your support and don’t forget those Christmas treats! Big or small we’d love them all. 

The Oathall equestrian team is going from strength to strength. Our team are now competing in show jumping events up to 90cm, as well as dressage competitions. Not deterred by the strong winds and rain last weekend, all riders rode brilliantly. Congratulations to Madison, who did extremely well, placing 2nd out of 62 riders in the 80cm.

Thank you to all involved for your continued support.

We are pleased to announce that BPM Street Dance Academy is offering students in years 7, 8 and 9 the opportunity to join a new paid club at Oathall, starting in January 2024.

As part of Remembrance Day, a small group of our students took part in the service at St Wilfrids Church. They represented Oathall admirably, reading aloud to the assembled congregation with precision and a sense of occasion that prompted compliments from those who attended.

Thank you to all involved.

Please feel free to join us.
