The second Oathall value to explore this year is that of resilience. Defined as ‘the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness’. We will educate the meaning of resilience and the impact being resilient can have on a person’s education and character.
The latest edition of the Oathall year 7 library newsletter is now available for families to view.
Headteacher, Edward Rodriguez has spoken of his delight at the comments made in the recently published Ofsted inspection of the school.
The inspection, which took place in September, confirms that the school continues to be a good school. Inspectors who visited the school over two days described the school as a ‘happy school community’ and went on to praise many aspects of the school, its governors, staff and students.
Headteacher, Edward Rodriguez said,
“I am delighted to be able to share this report which highlights many of the positive aspects of the school and its community. This report reflects our own self assessment and underpins the effectiveness of our ambitious plans for the school.
I was particularly pleased that so many of our stakeholders – staff, parents and pupils – shared positive opinions about the school and that this was clearly apparent in the surveys that were carried out during the inspection.
I would encourage everyone to read the report which can be found on Ofsted’s website. This positive report is a testament to the whole community and their contribution to making Oathall a good school.”

Good luck!
The parental workshop, delivered by Thought-Full recently has been a huge success, with really positive feedback from parents. We have added the presentation slides to our ‘Wellbeing and Mental Health‘ page.
Year 9 had their first presentation from Jack ‘the lad’ Hayes and the Dare to Dream program on Monday. Dare to Dream is an inspirational programme that challenges young people to change the way they think about themselves, their future and their place in the world. Jack is a local radio presenter, currently presenting the More FM breakfast programme on a Friday. His charismatic presentation explained to our students how he had got to where he is now.
Fantastic to see so many Y11s and their parents at the Post-16 Opportunities Evening last week. It was a great chance for them to talk to colleges, sixth forms, apprenticeship providers and local employers about their choices for life after Oathall. We were especially pleased to see some alumni come back to talk about their experiences at college with our current students.
