This week's Forte gathering was held by our Headmaster, Mr Middleton, and Senior Deputy Head, Mr Lane. Both were delighted to be able to meet with this week's winners and congratulate them on their efforts and achievements. Our winners were selected because they exhibited Forte virtues or values...
Sophie (L6th)
For going above and beyond in her sport science work this half term.
Harry (2nd)
Harry is to be commended for being part of the TNS u13 side who won the Welsh Premiership in the 2023/24 season and the won the National Final in Cardiff against the South Wales winners, becoming only the second TNS academy team to be crowned national champions. Well done Harry!
Edward has been coming to the LS Quiet Zone library break sessions since they started. He gets on with an activity, but will always make the effort to talk to staff and to other pupils. He is more confident and comfortable with every week that passes, and is the perfect role model to other pupils in LS who might be wary of coming down to the library at social times.
Verity (1st), Thomas (1st), Betsy (1st), Arthur (1st)
For being an excellent role model and represented the school with pride during the Year 6 Transition Day

Our Values are: Flourishment; Opportunity; Responsibility; Trust; Empathy.
Our Virtues represent a range of skill sets that can be experienced, developed and mastered here at Oswestry School. They are behaviours, character strengths, attitudes and mindsets that enable pupils to thrive at school and flourish in life.
