Outside we have large playing fields used for sport, a floodlit full-size 3G artificial turf pitch and a five acre farm. In 2022, we were told that Oathall was a confirmed project under the DFE school rebuilding progrmme. We anticipate the project will commence in around 2026-2027.

We offer a broad, balanced curriculum based on our knowledge of our students that challenges and motivates students to achieve their best.
