Welcome to Oathall

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Oathall, a place where our students are valued as individuals.

Oathall is a happy school community in which each student’s personal strengths and abilities are recognised and celebrated. Our school is an inspiring place to learn where the expertise, enthusiasm and commitment of the staff ensure that students at Oathall are taught in a challenging yet nurturing environment.

There is an exceptionally rich choice of extra-curricular opportunities on offer so that all students can find something that extends their learning beyond the classroom. We continually strive for the highest standards and our students thrive in a supportive environment where the best is always expected from them.

Oathall’s community values are respect and equality, resilience and independence, positivity and confidence. Through these students learn to act with integrity and become responsible citizens. We want them to support others, enjoy sporting activities, appreciative creativity and embrace diverse cultures. We prepare our students to become confident young people, ready to move on to the next exciting phase of their lives.

We very much value the partnership between home and school and enjoy our strong links within the community. A very special feature of the college is the Oathall Farm, which is nationally and locally renowned for its outstanding practice.

You are warmly invited to visit Oathall, to meet our students and staff and to experience our forward looking and innovative community college in action.

Mr Toby Houghton – Headteacher (from 1 September 2024)
