Mykola (5th)
Mykola has demonstrated consistently high levels of dedication to his physics studies since joining us in September. He has really worked his socks off to ensure that he caught up with all the content covered prior to his arrival and has been proactive in seeking out any support or answers to any questions that his independent learning has generated for him. He has embraced all opportunities to deepen his understanding and learning. Rightfully all of his hard work led to him achieving a grade 9 in his mock examinations, but although pleased with his success Mykola was more interested in any areas that require further refinement. Well done indeed.
Oscar (4th)
Oscar this term has taken increased ownership of his learning, making mature choices recently which have given him greater focus towards his studies as a result.
Sienna (3rd)
For notable academic progression this term, Sienna has been working hard on her studies with pleasing results. This effort deserves recognition, well done Sienna.
Rose (2nd)
For notable academic progression this term, Rose has been working hard on her studies with pleasing results. This effort deserves recognition, well done Rose.

Meg (L6th)
Meg has been completing the Cambridge Technical in Sport in her own time as another A Level and in her first external examination she secured a Distinction grade; the highest of all the grades.
Harry (U6th)
A significant change in Harry's attitude towards meeting deadlines in Sport Science. He has been proactive and working hard behind the scenes.
Rubi (L6th)
Ruby continues to do things out of her comfort zone - she has opted to do Community Action in place of going to Learning Support next term in the Enrichment slot.
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.

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.
