Year 11 Students Get a Taste of College Life at East Surrey College
A group of selected Year 11 students are taking an exciting step toward their future by attending East Surrey College every Monday afternoon to complete a Level 1 qualification in either Mechanics or Hair & Beauty. This initiative is designed to give students early exposure to college life, helping them build confidence, develop practical skills, and gain a clearer sense of direction for their post GCSE journey.
The programme offers hands on experience in professional environments, allowing students to explore their interests in vocational fields while still in school. Whether they are learning the fundamentals of vehicle maintenance or mastering the basics of beauty therapy, students are engaging with industry standard equipment and receiving guidance from experienced college tutors.
Beyond the technical skills, the experience provides a valuable glimpse into the independence and responsibility that comes with college education. It helps bridge the gap between school and further education, giving students a sense of purpose and motivation as they prepare for their GCSEs.
Staff from both the school and East Surrey College have praised the programme for its positive impact on student engagement and aspirations. Many students have already expressed increased enthusiasm for their future studies and careers.
This partnership reflects a growing commitment to ensuring young people are well prepared for life beyond school, equipped not only with qualifications but with the confidence and experience to thrive.

🏆 Year 7 Football Triumph! 🏆
The Year 7 football team returned to the scene of their first ever Oxted victory – De Stafford – this time competing in the ESFA National Cup.
After last week's setback, the boys were fired up and determined to bounce back. Just like their first encounter, Oxted dominated possession early on, with striker Harry D opening the scoring.
Moments before half time, Zac K was brought down in the box, and Harry coolly slotted home his second from the penalty spot. The second half saw more brilliant passing and attacking play, with Harry completing his hat-trick and Zak rounding off the scoring.
Final score: 4-0 to Oxted!
A fantastic team performance and a well deserved win. 👏⚽️

🏉 Oxted Year 8 Rugby Squad Debut! 🏉
Oxted’s Year 8 squad had their first outing at the Dunottar Festival of Rugby, joining teams from St Bede’s, Lingfield, and Dunottar.
Despite two tough matches against St Bede’s and Lingfield ending in defeat, the team showed real promise and resilience. Their hard work paid off with a fantastic win against Dunottar, their first ever victory as a squad!
Dunottar scored twice out wide, but Oxted responded brilliantly with three tries:
🔥 Benji finished off an excellent team move
⚡ Milo caught the ball straight from kick-off and ran the length of the pitch
🏁 Liam sealed the win with a flowing attacking move, scoring in the corner
A brilliant start to their rugby journey, well done, lads! 👏
