News and Information

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.

Last week, Oathall’s fantastic Modern Foreign Languages Faculty held the ‘Round the World in a Cake’ competition where students could bake and decorate a cake(s) based on and inspired by any country in the world.

Students from across the school were able to take part in the competition, and we were thrilled to see the results of all the hard work and effort put in by all involved.

Well done to everyone who took part, and congratulations to the lucky winners:

Our fantastic Oathall Leaders have been working towards running events for local primary schools.

On Thursday 31st March, 13 primary schools from Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill came to Oathall to take part in a Netball year 3/4 festival.

The sports leaders planned 13 different stations varying from the technique of throwing in netball, creating space, defending, attacking, fitness stations and netball matches.

The primary school pupils had a fantastic time and were thoroughly engaged throughout the 90 minutes they were at Oathall.

Our Leaders did an amazing job and are excited about more events and the opportunity to help in primary schools in the future.

Well done to all involved.

This assembly celebrates all the hard work and achievements from this half term.

Oathall Library is pleased to announce the start of our Year 8 Book Club.

The club will be held in the Library every Tuesday Lunchtime after the Easter Break, and is open at any Year 8 students who want to come along.

Oathall will be holding a school fundraiser happening during the week beginning 4 April. The money we raise as a school will go towards providing food, water, medical care and other necessities for Ukrainian refugees. Students will be walking a mile during their PE lesson in solidarity with those who are having to flee Ukraine.

A suggested voluntary donation of £1.50 from each student will be available on School Gateway, but any amount beyond that is very welcome.

The government has also pledged to match the total funds we raise.

Many thanks in advance for your support.
