🏉 Oxted Year 8 Rugby at the Charles Darwin Festival! 🏉
A great afternoon of rugby for the Oxted Year 8s at the Charles Darwin Festival.
A relatively slow start meant Game 1 ended in a narrow loss. Darwin scoring the only try despite Oxted showing plenty of positive intent and solid phases of play.
The boys hit back brilliantly in Game 2, battling through a proper mud bath to secure a well-deserved win over Hayes. Two excellent tries from Bobby and relentless attacking pressure meant Hayes barely got out of their own half. 💪
Game 3 brought another win, this time against a strong and physical Bonus Pastor side. Oxted had to dig deep, but tries from Bobby, Milo, and Elliot gave them the edge after BP pulled one back.
The final match, against a well-organised Wilmington team, finished in a loss, but a well-earned try from Milo was a real highlight.
Overall, some excellent rugby and clear progress from this committed group. Proud of the boys! 👏🔵

🌟 Children’s Mental Health Week 🌟
This week, students are invited to G10 at lunchtimes to enjoy games and activities designed to support wellbeing. 💛
Our young people have loved getting involved, from lively games of Uno and Headbandz, to calming wellbeing crosswords, and contributing to our display board: “Belonging – This Is My Place”, where they shared all the things that help them feel connected and included. 💬✨
Today was Talk It Out Tuesday, giving students the chance to sit together, chat, share stories, and celebrate the importance of listening and being heard. 💙
It has been wonderful to see so many students coming together, having fun, and embracing the theme of belonging.

A small group of our Year 8 students had the fantastic opportunity to watch a live apprenticeship talk with Dave from Gatwick Airport as part of National Apprenticeship Week. ✈️
Students gained a great insight into the many different areas of the airport where current apprentices carry out their day‑to‑day roles, with Dave sharing his knowledge and experience in his position as an Apprentice Development Lead.
We were also delighted to hear from Olivia (IET Apprentice of the Year 2025), who spoke about her journey at Gatwick since leaving school, what the apprenticeship programme is really like, and the key qualities the Gatwick team look for when recruiting their future apprentices.
A huge thank you to Gatwick Airport for inspiring our students! 👏

Our regular after school club members and aspiring future pilots had an incredible opportunity last Friday as they attended the Army Careers Day at Sandown Racecourse. ✈️💂♂️
We were welcomed with fantastic live music from The Royal Corps of Army Music Regiment, followed by an introduction to the day’s activities.
Students met representatives from the flying branches of the Armed Forces, tested out real flight simulators, and engaged with the teams behind them. They also heard from a wide range of service men and women, gaining inspiring, firsthand insight into their roles and what motivated them to join the forces.
A huge thank you to the South East Region Reach Out team for inviting us to this year’s event, an unforgettable experience for our young people! 🙌

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.
