This week's Forte gathering was held by our Headmaster, Mr Middleton, and Deputy Head Futures, Mr Price.

Warren (5th)
Warren assisted the nurse with an injured pupil. The pupil needed to go to MIU and Warren offered to go with him so he could support his friend who was in a lot of pain. He was incredibly kind and supportive and showed natural empathy. The nurse in MIU even commented on how helpful Warren was and said "we all need a friend like you". Warren demonstrated all the values of a good friend whilst assisting the nurse in the most thoughtful way.

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.
