Year 10

Welcome to the Year 10 website page.

Weekly Newsletter - 10 09 2026

Year 10 have made a fantastic start to the new school year. They have all come back with positive attitudes, ready to learn! This can be seen in 3491 achievement points they have already gained. VBN currently have the most, however SHO are just closely behind.

The new uniform is looking really smart, and we really appreciate parents/carers supporting us to ensuring students are dressed in line with our uniform policy Uniform & Equipment - Oakwood School. Morning equipment checks are also highlighting students’ readiness to learn, thank you for providing them with full pencil cases!

In this week’s assembly we spoke about Ambition - a strong wish to achieve something. Students have been encouraged to think about their ambitions, this will keep them motivated when things become hard. Year 10 have been challenged to share their ambitions with you at home, I hope you are able to have lots of positive conversations with them!

We have over 50 fantastic Peer Mentors, who have been working closely with the 7 new year students, helping them to settle into school life.  A big thank you to Anjali G and Izzy C, who have also both agreed to help with registers and assembly organisation this year, their organisational skills are exceptional!

Year 10 have also completed some brilliant work this week. Books are looking neat and, the students appear to be enjoying the opportunity for double lessons. Below are some examples of the kind of work they have completed.

Looking ahead:
