Yesterday’s RAG Week theme was Memes/Anything But a Bag, and today’s theme is Decades. The Sixth Form students and teachers have really thrown themselves into it, the effort has been brilliant and some of the costumes have been absolutely hilarious!
Loving the creativity this week! 🎭😂✨
🏉 Oxted Rugby Match Update 🌧️
Oxted started slowly today, seemingly more interested in the ever‑changing weather than the Imberhorne attack! They found themselves 20–0 down in the first half but eventually kicked into gear.
Some excellent attacking phases, with Jackson, Shea, Will and Caleb leading the charge, saw ground gained and gaps begin to open. Beau went close first but was dragged into touch. Then Elliott raced over in the corner for Oxted’s first try.
Elliott struck again for Oxted’s second, this time coming after some brilliant defensive work. A key focus in recent games has been defensive line solidarity, and Oxted stood strong against wave after wave of Imberhorne attacks before Elliott turned the ball over and ran clear.
Imberhorne hit back out wide twice before Oxted added another. This time it was great work from debutants Edward and Regan in attack that allowed Noah to grab quick ball and power through a gap for his try.
Imberhorne secured the final score in what was an entertaining game from start to finish.
An ever‑improving Oxted side in only their third match – fantastic progress all round! 💙💛

✨ Science Week Spotlight ~ Space to Learn! 🚀
Tuesday was a standout day in Science Week as both Year 10 Separate Science classes took part in an immersive Space to Learn workshop focused on asteroids. The session was delivered by our long‑standing partners at the National Space Agency, who have been an exceptional source of enrichment for our students over the past few years.
Their workshops consistently go beyond the curriculum giving students the chance to explore real scientific challenges, cutting‑edge research, and the kinds of questions professional scientists grapple with every day. This year’s asteroid workshop was no exception, it truly brought space science to life!
A huge thank you to the National Space Agency for continuing to inspire our young scientists. 🌟🪐

Wake Up WednesdayAs exam season approaches, many young people rely on revision techniques that feel productive but offer limited long-term impact.
Rereading notes and highlighting can create a false sense of confidence, leaving gaps in understanding when it matters most.
Our latest #WakeUpWednesday guide shares simple, evidence-informed strategies to support more effective revision, including:
• Retrieval practice to strengthen memory
• Spaced revision to improve retention
• Building manageable and consistent routines
With practical advice for parents and educators, the guide helps create a balanced approach that supports both confidence and wellbeing.

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.
