Today, Oxted School fell silent to honour the brave souls who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Members of our Sith Form gave heartfelt readings, while Mrs Homewood’s poignant renditions of the ‘Last Post’ and ‘The Reveille’ resonated deeply. The moving performance of ‘Abide by Me’ by Ms Nicholls on piano, accompanied by Mrs Homewood on trumpet, added a profound touch to our solemn remembrance.
We stand united in gratitude and respect. 🌺

Yesterday we held another successful Personal Development Day for Years 7, 8, 9, and 11.
Year 7 explored a range of important topics, including toxic friendships and mental health, helping pupils to reflect on their relationships and emotional wellbeing.
Year 8 took part in a workshop with Split Banana focused on consent, where they practised communication techniques to advocate for their personal choices and better understand others’ boundaries. They also heard the powerful real-life story of Jeremy Indika, a survivor of sexual abuse, whose message encourages awareness and resilience.
Years 9 and 11 also had the opportunity to hear from Jeremy Indika and engaged in discussions around sexual health. In addition, Year 11 participated in a further session aimed at equipping them with the knowledge and skills to protect themselves from exploitation.
We were proud of our students for their thoughtful participation and grateful to all the facilitators who made the day impactful and meaningful.

A Taste of Italy and Local Flavours for Year 11 Food & Nutrition Students! 🇮🇹🍞🌿
Last Tuesday, our Year 11 Food and Nutrition students took a well-deserved break from the classroom to get inspired and prepare for their second piece of GCSE coursework. Their day began at the renowned Bread Ahead Baking School, where they took part in an Italian Baking Workshop and learned how to make focaccia and ciabatta using wet dough, recipes that are usually too time-consuming for school lessons.
After mastering their loaves, the group headed to Borough Market to enjoy lunch and explore one of London’s most iconic produce and street food markets. It was a fantastic opportunity to experience artisan food culture first-hand and gather ideas for their upcoming projects.
A huge thank you to Bread Ahead for the warm welcome and expert guidance – and well done to our students for getting stuck in and making the most of the day!

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.
