Two new developments to the campus have been completed this year, a new art building and a new food technology department.

One of the old wooden hut classrooms was demolished in 2006 to make way for the building of a modernised and much better facilitated art block. However Oathall has many wooden hut classrooms which have holes in walls and need to be replaced quickly however they are re-doing their reception at the moment. Stingy
