New Senior Prefect Team

16th July 2024E
After a gruelling interview day we are delighted to announce this year’s Senior Prefect Team. 13 students from Year 11 applied for these roles and went through a rigorous application and selection process. All students displayed maturity beyond their years, shared innovative ideas and responded to interview questions with in depth and well structured responses. The final decision was incredibly difficult and Mr Rodriguez, Miss Powell and myself agreed it was the strongest field we had ever been presented with. Congratulations to from left to right, Mia Macguire (vice Captain), Flora McPherson (School Captain), Zac Nicholson (School Captain), Ella Banbury (Vice Captain) and Martha Wood (Vice Captain). We all very much look forward to working with them to continue to develop Oathall for the student body.

Goodbye Year 11!

5th July 2024E

This week we have said goodbye and good luck to the class of 2024.

Our students were treated to a breakfast brunch where they signed each other’s shirts and ate pastries and donuts. This was followed with their final assembly full of memories of their time at Oathall and fun farewell messages from all their tutors.

The day was finished off with their Y11 Leavers’ Dinner at Plumpton racecourse.

We wish them all the best of luck in their future adventures!

2024 Oathall Colour Run

25th June 2024J Godbolt

Oathall hosted it’s very first house charity colour run last Wednesday. We had over 250 students take part and the event raised over £650 for the school’s house charities.

Students had to run 1 mile around the athletics trap whilst getting coloured paint powered thrown over them along the way! It was a fantastic way for our students to get active, have fun and raise money for some really important charities. It was a wonderful occasion for the school community, with many teachers throwing the paint and some even running!

The results from the house competition will be revealed to students in assemblies very soon.

South of England Show

12th June 2024J Godbolt

As has been the tradition for many years some of Oathall’s students proudly represented the school at the annual South of England show held in Ardingly. Our students helped by leading the fabulous livestock parades held each afternoon. They led out the parades of prize winning livestock holding up the category boards at the head of each group of animals.

Oathall Pride Month

12th June 2024J Godbolt

Pride month takes place in June every year and celebrates LGBTQIA+ lives and people.  At Oathall, we support this by holding a series of assemblies for students exploring what Pride is, why Pride month exists and milestones from recent history and the challenges that may lay ahead for the LGBTQIA+. These themes will be tied into the school’s character values  of respect and equality, resilience and independence and postitivity and confidence.

Half-term focus: Independence

3rd June 2024Joanna Patch

The final half term of this year sees us learn about independence. Students will be encouraged to make their own choices, resolve conflict and follow their dreams. We will then finish the year with our usual assemblies celebrating all of the hard work and achievements that our wonderful students have made this year.
