Discord gives young people a space to chat, play games and join communities based around shared interests.
While it can be a positive way to connect with friends, there are also important risks for parents and educators to understand.
Our latest #WakeUpWednesday guide highlights:
• Contact with strangers
• Harassment and harmful behaviour
• Exposure to inappropriate content
• Gaming and socialising becoming a distraction
• Spending and subscription risks
It also shares practical advice on using Discord’s Family Centre, reviewing privacy and spending settings, talking openly about suspicious behaviour and agreeing clear expectations around screen time.

The Oxted rugby squad travelled to Caterham for their first fixture of the season.
It started with a loss against Wilsons for team 2 who came up against a good outfit.
The same fate for team 1 as they lost out to Caterham 1.
They played some good rugby but errors cost them and Caterham capitalised.
The second game saw team 2 play much better. Ben grabbed 2 tries and Aidan, despite a knock in game 1, continued his fine scoring he ended with last season.
Team 1 followed up by scoring some great tries against Caterham 2.
Charlie and Shea combined before Noah ran in to score the opener. Then Shea himself got one from close range.
Shea went over again after beating a few men. Then he turned provider for Charlie to score his first.
Caleb went over in the corner after some great oxted attack and Charlie finished off 2 more for his hat trick after some good play by Kian and Zac.
An excellent outing for the lads as they build on last years hard work

Our Main Hall became an aerospace launchpad on Friday as we welcomed the Schools Aerospace Careers Programme for the very first time.
From the moment they began, Chris, Mike and Ogi captivated our students, sharing their career journeys, insights into the aerospace industry and the incredible opportunities available in this exciting field. Students were fully engaged throughout, asking thoughtful questions and discovering the many pathways into aerospace careers.
The atmosphere was electric as students explored the cutting-edge technology on display. Following the presentations, everyone had the opportunity to get hands-on with drone simulators, VR flying experiences and an interactive AR activity.
The standout moments of the day? Meeting Spot, the amazing four-legged robot dog from Boston Dynamics, who responded to questions from several students, and watching a drone soar the length of the hall, leaving students in awe.
A huge thank you to Emma and Dr Michael Smith, Chairman of the Programme, for helping to make this truly unforgettable and "out of this world" event possible.
Thank you also to the students and staff from Lingfield College for attending and helping to make the day such a success.

The Schools' Aerospace Careers Programme
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.
