Oathall Community College
Oathall is a mixed comprehensive community college with 1000 students located in the heart of Mid-Sussex. We are situated on the boundaries of the town of Haywards Heathand the village of Lindfield.
We are a strategic partner in two local Teaching School alliances and we work closely with the other schools in our federation of secondary schools.
Learning is at the heart of all we do and the college has clearly stated teaching and learning expectations for all members of the college which are captured as the Oathall 8. Students achieve impressive results that continue to improve year on year.
The most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2018 graded the school as continuing to be good and, although pleased with this, Oathall is not a complacent school and has an improvement plan sharply focused
on producing outstanding outcomes in all areas. The comprehensive programme of continuing professional learning ensures that each member of the Oathall team can fulfil their entitlement to a bespoke package of training that is underpinned by the appraisal system.
