Several of our Year 10 students recently took part in an engaging financial workshop led by Katie from The Money Charity.
The session explored key concepts around earning and spending, giving students a clear understanding of how the payroll system works, including gross and net pay, National Insurance contributions, deductions and pensions.
Students also had the opportunity to build their own budgets and take part in a quick activity exploring everyday spending habits.
It was a fantastic session, with students showing great enthusiasm and a genuine interest in developing essential life skills for the future.
Thank you to Katie for visiting us, we look forward to welcoming her back again in the near future.

Oxted 25 – Beacon 30
An excellent, physical contest with some fantastic tries in a thrilling end‑to‑end game. Beacon started brightly, racing into a three‑try lead while Oxted were slow to defend and struggled to break out of their own half.
As the game wore on, Oxted’s forwards began to find their drive and gain momentum. Jake crossed for Oxted’s first try before Max powered through after some strong phases of play. Beacon responded with another try, but Oxted showed real character as Jake and Max both went over again to keep the contest alive.
Jake completed an impressive hat‑trick, but it was sandwiched between two further Beacon tries as they edged ahead to steal a late victory. Oxted came agonisingly close to scoring out wide on the final play, but an outstanding last‑ditch tackle sealed the win for Beacon.
A brave and battling performance from Oxted in a highly entertaining match. 💪🏉

🏉 Oxted 55 – 25 Bonus Pastor 🏉
A brilliant team performance from Oxted in an exciting, high‑tempo game.
Oxted raced out of the blocks with Shea breaking from kick-off and offloading to Kian for the opener. Confidence grew as the tries kept coming, Zac and Shea both scoring after excellent teamwork, followed by Charlie after sustained attacking pressure.
The pressure never let up. Will crossed twice out wide, Noah powered through after great midfield work with Shea and Hunter, and Kian grabbed his second thanks to a superb 2‑on‑1 from Harrison. Charlie added two more to complete a well-earned hat-trick, with Ben also scoring a fantastic solo try.
Bonus Pastor showed great resilience throughout, but Oxted’s offloads, support play and attacking intent proved too much on the day.
Special mention to Albie, who was outstanding on debut. An excellent all‑round performance and great spirit shown by both sides. 👏💙🤍

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.
