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.

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.
