This weekend, a group of students from our school took part in a fantastic training event at Adamswell Scout Campsite.
Throughout the weekend, they worked closely with a qualified and experienced leader who taught them a range of basic expedition skills. They were also introduced to key elements of team dynamics and leadership, skills that will serve them well on future adventures.
The team were additionally joined by a potential leader who was under assessment for future expeditions, giving our students the chance to see leadership development in action.
Over the course of the event, the students completed a hike in the local area and took part in a series of realistic scenarios designed to prepare them for situations they may encounter overseas.
We’re extremely proud of their enthusiasm, teamwork, and resilience throughout the weekend! 🌍🎒✨
True Adventure
As part of National Careers Week, we were delighted to welcome our Year 11 students to our very first Insight Workshop in partnership with BDO, an exciting new collaboration organised through Connectr. This marks the beginning of a three‑year partnership, during which BDO professionals will work closely with our students through interactive workshops, workplace visits, and valuable work experience placements.
The Insight Day was expertly led by Ben, a professional facilitator working on behalf of Connectr, alongside Amanda S, Tim I, and one of our own alumni, Jude R. Jude joined BDO as an apprentice last year after completing Sixth Form here, and it was inspiring for students to hear his journey from student to professional firsthand during his presentation.
Throughout the day, students worked collaboratively in teams to tackle real‑world financial challenges, developing their problem‑solving, communication, and teamwork skills. They also presented their solutions and took part in mock interviews, gaining valuable insights into how recruitment processes work and what employers look for in candidates.
It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to engage with industry professionals, build confidence, and gain a deeper understanding of career pathways in the world of finance and business. We look forward to seeing this partnership flourish over the coming years.

Dyscalculia Day aims to raise awareness of dyscalculia and other specific learning difficulties in maths, highlight the challenges faced by those with dyscalculia and provide educational resources and promote understanding in schools, homes, and workplaces. It aims to increase awareness, reduce stigma and advocate for better support and accommodations for people with dyscalculia.
'Dyscalculia is a specific and persistent difficulty in understanding numbers which can lead to a diverse range of difficulties with mathematics. It will be unexpected in relation to age, level of education and experience and occurs across all ages and abilities.' - Specific Learning Difficulties Assessment Standards Committee (SASC), 2019.
People with dyscalculia may struggle with number sense, arithmetic, understanding patterns, dealing with money and telling the time. As parents/carer, you can access online webinars to support this important day by clicking on the link below:

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.
