🌿 Today is Parent Mental Health Day 🌿
Today we recognise the importance of parent and carer wellbeing.
Founded by the charity stem4, Parent Mental Health Day encourages families to pause, reflect, and find balance, reminding us that when parents are supported, the whole family thrives.
To all our parents and carers: your mental health matters. Taking time for yourself, reaching out for support, and acknowledging the challenges you carry every day are essential steps toward a healthier, happier home.

The House System
The House system has existed at Oxted School since 1929 when the school first opened. Originally there were four Houses: Detillens, Foyles, Grants and Tenchleys. As Oxted’s success grew and the school became more popular a fifth House was needed and Stocketts was created in 1965.
