Students engaged in speed networking event at Oathall in 2025 as part of Extended Learning initiative
Year 7 – The focus of the afternoon is entrepreneurship and the Make £5 grow project. Students will work together in small groups and come up with a business idea. They will have to research their idea and put together a business plan including financial projections. They will then pitch their business to their tutor and tutor group. Two businesses from each tutor group will be selected as the winning teams, we will then give them £5 per person to set up the business.
Year 8 – Students will be taking part in a STEM afternoon focusing on basic forensic science. Students will be gathering evidence to solve a crime. They will be working in groups in their science classes.
Year 9 – We will be launching the option process with students; this will involve an assembly and each student participating in four taster lessons from a variety of subjects they have chosen from.
Year 10 – Students will spend the afternoon focusing on careers and their future plans. We have a large number of volunteers coming into school from various industries and the students will get to speak to them and ask them questions in a speed networking activity.
Year 11 – Students will be completing a mock examination in English. They will go on an early lunch (12.20-12.50) so please be aware that although the canteen will be open it will only have chilled food & drink available. If your child has extra time please note the exam will finish later than the normal finish time of 3.05pm and alternative transportation home may need to be arranged.
The focus for each year group varies but I am sure you will agree they are all worthwhile educational activities.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.
