Science Inter-House Competition
This week, our students took on a brilliant challenge, to create an origami box capable of holding 50ml of water and be the first team to heat it to 70°C using the micro–Bunsen burners (!).
I’m very pleased to share that Grants took first place, showing excellent teamwork and a calm, focused manner under pressure.
🏆 1st – Grants
🥈 2nd – Foyles
🥉 3rd – Detillens
4th – Stocketts
5th – Tenchleys
A huge well done to all students who took part, every participant has earned house points for their effort and enthusiasm. 👏🔥📦
Y7 travelled to Warlingham School for a league fixture today. On a boggy pitch, Oxted tried to get their passing game going, but were undone by a ball played through our defence which put the opposition 1–0 up.
Oxted then turned into Arsenal, working some excellent set plays that led to the equaliser, a well‑taken finish from Charlie K after a corner. Warlingham regained the lead following some indecisive defending, but yet another set piece saw Oxted level again, this time with Dylan finding the net.
Final score: 2–2. Fantastic resilience from the boys, with POTM Jay D driving the team on throughout. 👏

The Y8 B squad hit the road to face an Imberhorne side riddled with quality. Oxted struggled in the first half, but the second half was a completely different story, the boys came out a new team. 🔥
With tighter defending and more concise passing, Oxted struck first after a brilliant long throw from Harry found Lucca H, who calmly slotted it home. ⚽🙌
Imberhorne did manage to grab another before the final whistle, but the lads should be incredibly proud of how they turned things around and showed real character. 💪🔴

🏉 Oxted Year 8 vs St Bede’s – Match Report ☀️
Oxted Year 8 hosted St Bede’s in a competitive game of rugby on a sunny evening.
Still growing as a team, Oxted showed real promise as their shape and structure began to shine through. Sonny, Milo, Alex and Bobby made great ground up the middle, with Alex grabbing a well‑deserved try before half-time, although Oxted went in behind.
The second half started brightly for Oxted, with some strong phases of play, but St Bede’s managed to extend their lead. An excellent individual try from Sonny and a powerful finish from Milo pulled Oxted back into the contest, but St Bede’s ultimately ran out winners.
There were plenty of positives to take away: clear progression, exciting attacking play, and some brilliant defensive efforts from Freddie and Elliott that kept Oxted in the game.
The boys now look forward to their upcoming fixtures — and their trip to Bath in October! 💪💙🏉

As part of National Careers Week 2026, our students were delighted to welcome Neil Riches, Executive Chairman of MyClub, based in Oxted.
Neil’s presentation, “Fantasy… or is it?”, took students on an inspiring journey through his career. He began by sharing his early experiences working in London, including the challenges and successes of patenting what was then an innovative mobile phone device. He then explored the evolution of his current company and highlighted how AI now plays a vital role not only in product ordering, but also in manufacturing and distribution.
Students were shown and had the opportunity to compare past and present sportswear products, gaining valuable insight into how design, technology and quality have advanced over time.
A huge thank you to Neil and the entire team at MyClub for their continued commitment and support of our school’s careers programme.

This weekend, a group of students from our school took part in a fantastic training event at Adamswell Scout Campsite.
Throughout the weekend, they worked closely with a qualified and experienced leader who taught them a range of basic expedition skills. They were also introduced to key elements of team dynamics and leadership, skills that will serve them well on future adventures.
The team were additionally joined by a potential leader who was under assessment for future expeditions, giving our students the chance to see leadership development in action.
Over the course of the event, the students completed a hike in the local area and took part in a series of realistic scenarios designed to prepare them for situations they may encounter overseas.
We’re extremely proud of their enthusiasm, teamwork, and resilience throughout the weekend! 🌍🎒✨
True Adventure
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.
