Autumn into Winter 2020

Welcome to our final Teaching & Learning bulletin of the year. At the end of what might be considered, a long and arduous autumn term, it is so important to remind ourselves of the many positive events that have been taking place. Not least, the excellent news below of the school's success in being selected to name the first operational turbine situated off the coast of Brighton. Well done to Mrs Lindsley and the EcOathall group.

Like others, the school has clearly faced many challenges this year. Regardless, it has been so good to see our students back at school, engaging with their learning so positively and interacting in person once again with their teachers and friends. The Oathall school community has demonstrated resilience, patience and optimism. Please explore, via the links at the top, examples of such positive experiences across the school.

As always, thank you for your continued support.

On behalf of the staff anf governors of the college, may I wish you and your families the very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

Edward Rodriguez

Headteacher

Breaking news! We Won!

Exciting EcOathall News! Potential Wind turbine naming competition winners!

EcOathall is a group of committed and environmentally minded year 7 students here at the college who are working hard to make positive environmental change both in school and within the wider community. The group has recently entered competition, run by the Rampion Wind farm in Brighton, which is giving members of the public the chance to name FO4, the first operational turbine.

EcOathall is thrilled to announce that one of their proposed names 'Veranzio' (after the person who invented the wind turbine in his book 'Machinae Novae' in 1616) has been selected as one of the names that will go out to the public vote.The winning name will be displayed on the turbine and if they win EcOathall will get to make a special visit to the Education Centre.

The winning name will be announced on 14th December. Wouldn't it be amazing if all EcOathall's good work this year could be rewarded by being associated permanently with such an iconic symbol of environmental hope. It would be a great positive note to end the year on! Fingers crossed.Please support us and get voting. Here are the voting details via the social media links below, the vote will go live on Monday 7th December at 9am.
