Ski Trip - The 'Richard Award' – Celebrating the Week’s Best Moments
After a week full of fun, frolics, and unforgettable memories, it was time for our much‑loved 'Richard Award', a light‑hearted honour given to those standout moments of sheer silliness that kept everyone laughing.
Students (and even staff!) were proudly nominated for this prestigious 'wally' award, wearing it around the mountain with absolute confidence.
From the hilarious highs to the wonderfully daft lows, the award captured the spirit of the trip perfectly. This year’s highlight?
Mrs Keay, crowned in spectacular fashion after leaving her skis on the gondola… only for them to make their own solo journey down the mountain while she was still up at the top!
A brilliant tradition, and a brilliant way to end the week.

Day 5 - Ski Trip: Pila, Italy
On our final day on the mountain, students set off with a renewed positive mindset, determined to make the most of their last runs. With confidence soaring, they glided and slid their way down a variety of slopes, giving everything they had right to the very end.
It was the perfect finale to an unforgettable week, one filled with teamwork, resilience, and countless moments of success. Staff couldn’t be prouder of what the students have achieved, both on and off the snow.
Until next year, Oxted! And now … finally home for a well‑earned cup of tea!

Day 3 Iceland Trip – Lava, Black Sands, Glaciers & Waterfalls
Day three was packed with some of Iceland’s most unforgettable natural wonders. We started at the Lava Centre in Hvolsvöllur, exploring Iceland’s powerful volcanic history through interactive displays and immersive exhibits, an incredible way to understand the forces shaping the island.
From there, we travelled to the iconic Reynisfjara black sand beach, famous for its striking basalt columns and roaring Atlantic waves.
In the afternoon, we set off for our glacier walk at Sólheimajökull. With fantastic sunny weather, the views across the ice were crystal clear, deep crevasses, blue ice formations, and sweeping mountain landscapes all around us.
We ended the day with a visit to the beautiful Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where the sunlight lit up the cascades perfectly. The ideal finish to an incredible day.

Day 2 Iceland Trip – Thingvellir, Gullfoss, Geysir & the Northern Lights
Day 2 took us through the heart of Iceland’s famous Golden Circle. We began at Thingvellir National Park, where the dramatic rift valley marks the meeting point of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Walking between the continents was an incredible reminder of Iceland’s raw geological power.
Next, we visited the breathtaking Gullfoss waterfall, its icy spray and golden mist creating a scene straight out of a postcard. From there, we continued on to the geothermal fields at Geysir, watching eruptions burst from the earth with amazing force.
And the perfect ending to the day?
A spectacular display of the Northern Lights, dancing across the sky in vibrant waves. Absolutely unforgettable.

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.
