Forte Award - 04 October 2024
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...

 

 

 Lottie (1st)
Lottie competed at the North Wales Classic Challenge Zinc competition this weekend. She placed 2nd on bars, and although she had a fall on beam, she placed 6th All Around. She also placed 1st with her team. Lottie is now the reserve to be part of the team of 5 representing North Wales in 2 weeks’ time at the Welsh Finals.

 

 

 

 

Emily (4th)
After a successful audition, Emily has been selected to be a part of Royal Birmingham Conservatoire's symphony orchestra to play clarinet.
 
Annabelle (3rd)
Congratulations to Annabelle who successfully made the Shropshire County Football Squad. Annabelle was one of 94 girls in attendance at the trial and it was narrowed down to a mere 20. Huge achievement. Best of luck to Annabelle for your ISFA trial on the 17th of November.
 
Josie (U6th)
Josie went to Reading at the weekend for the under 18 ISFA football trials. Josie has been offered a place at the Cambridge two day camp in October half term where the final team will be selected.
 
Thomas (2nd)
Thomas competed in the Schools National Laser Run Finals. He had to run 3x 600m and Shoot 3x. This was at Deeside Stadium. Thomas did amazingly well, winning the final and taking the National Champion medal. He has also recently competed in the Road Run Championships in Sutton Park, Birmingham, representing Shrewsbury Athletics Club.
 

 

James (L6th)
James is taking Gerald the Slime Monster to the screen! He has written the first Act of a musical based around our favourite comic character.

 

 

Vladana (U6th)
For European Day of Languages, Vladana taught a full lesson of basic words and phrases in Montenegrin to the Year 6 class, all of whom thoroughly enjoyed the lesson.

 

 

Zac (L6th)
Zac competed in the Shrewsbury 1/2 marathon, known for being tough with lots of hills. He achieved a 3min PB, finishing in 1hr 21min being 21st overall finisher. Not bad considering he was certainly the youngest runner having only become old enough to enter 3 weeks ago.

 
 

 

This year, with the launch of the 2030 Strategic Plan- Forte - pupils will be recognised for embodying and demonstrating the school’s Values and Virtues.  Underpinning all aspects of school life, Oswestry School’s Values and Virtues are central to our school’s vision and ethos, empowering pupils in their Oswestry journey and enabling all individuals to excel and find their forte. 

Our Values are what we believe in; things that we hold as important and core to who we are. Oswestry School’s Values are deeply rooted and serve as a firm foundation for positive wellbeing, character development and contribution to society.  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. Our Virtues encourage pupils to be: Analytical; Collaborative; Independent; Innovative; Proactive; Resilient.
