Last week, students took part in our exciting Botball World Cup Inter-House Challenge Friday lunchtime, where teams of two went head-to-head in thrilling matches, using their robots to score goals and outplay their opponents.
Competitors attended a practice session at lunchtime on Wednesday to develop their robot control skills and prepare for the big competition on Friday. Throughout the event, students demonstrated excellent teamwork, using clever tactics to gain the advantage in some closely contested matches. A huge well done to everyone involved: Kate, Elspeth, Stephen, Davut, Ethan D, Haidar, Bailey, Hudson, Dom, Ethan M, Oscar, Reece, Eli, Callum, and Will.
Congratulations to our winners:
π₯ Bailey and Hudson (Detillens) in 1st place
π₯ Ethan and Haidar (Foyles) in 2nd place
π₯ Eli and Mr Hayzen (Foyles) in 3rd place.
We are incredibly proud of all the students for their enthusiasm, and competitive spirit! β½π We look forward to continuing our Coding Club from September where we will be using the robots to prepare for future interhouse competitions!π€

πποΈ 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.

πβ¨ Today, Year 7 and Year 9 students at Oxted School were delighted to welcome Carnegie Award-winning author Beth OβBrien.
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.
We were especially proud to celebrate Beth as a former Oxted School student, and it was wonderful to welcome her back to inspire the next generation of readers and writers.
As part of her visit, Beth also spent time meeting with our VI students over lunch and joined our Year 10 Book Club, giving students even more opportunities to discuss books, writing and creativity with an accomplished author.
A huge thank you to Beth for such an enjoyable and memorable visit. If your child enjoyed todayβs sessions, please do consider purchasing one of the fantastic books she discussed during her visit.
