🚗🏎️ Twenty lucky Year 8 students enjoyed an unforgettable visit to the Goodwood Festival of Speed STEM Day last Friday, thanks to the generosity of the Goodwood Education Trust.
Setting off bright and early, we arrived with plenty of time to explore an incredible collection of iconic, high-performance and luxury vehicles in the Supercar Paddock before taking our seats to experience the excitement of car and motorbike racing. Students also enjoyed watching more thrilling action in front of Goodwood House before heading off in small groups to discover the many interactive exhibits and displays across the festival.
Although we unfortunately missed one of the scheduled conferences, students were still able to take part in a range of engaging activities in the FOS Future Lab. The day was packed with world-class engineering, cutting-edge design and unforgettable motorsport experiences, providing plenty of inspiration for our future engineers, designers and innovators.
A huge thank you to Anne, Abbie and Amey from the Goodwood Education Trust for making this fantastic opportunity possible and for giving our students such a memorable and enriching experience.

Both year groups enjoyed an inspiring author talk, followed by engaging workshops where Beth shared fascinating insights into her writing journey and creative process. Students left feeling motivated and inspired by her experiences as an author.

🔧🏥 Another Fantastic Taster Day at Crawley College! 🎓✨

We also had the opportunity to visit the impressive new Institute of Technology building, which is due to open this September. It was exciting to get a glimpse of the state-of-the-art facilities that will be available to future learners.
A huge thank you to Lottie and Tim for their support throughout the day, and to all the teaching staff who generously shared their time, knowledge and expertise to make the experience so enjoyable, informative and inspiring.

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.
