Dyscalculia Day aims to raise awareness of dyscalculia and other specific learning difficulties in maths, highlight the challenges faced by those with dyscalculia and provide educational resources and promote understanding in schools, homes, and workplaces. It aims to increase awareness, reduce stigma and advocate for better support and accommodations for people with dyscalculia.
'Dyscalculia is a specific and persistent difficulty in understanding numbers which can lead to a diverse range of difficulties with mathematics. It will be unexpected in relation to age, level of education and experience and occurs across all ages and abilities.' - Specific Learning Difficulties Assessment Standards Committee (SASC), 2019.
People with dyscalculia may struggle with number sense, arithmetic, understanding patterns, dealing with money and telling the time. As parents/carer, you can access online webinars to support this important day by clicking on the link below:

Online Safety Reminder
We have been made aware of a current TikTok trend involving a so‑called ‘game’ that encourages violence between groups of students from different schools.
Please take a moment to check your young person’s phone and talk with them about staying safe online. These trends can be extremely dangerous, and open conversations at home can make a big difference.
Thank you for helping us keep our young people safe.
Congratulations to all Year 6 pupils who have been offered a place at Oxted School.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family to the #teamOxted community in September.

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.
