The Year 7 B Team played only their second game today, but you’d have thought they’d been together for years! They showed fantastic determination and character from start to finish, securing a 3–5 victory.
Harry L opened the scoring before Beau and Hunter struck twice in two minutes. Trinity then levelled the game, but Beau responded with his second to restore Oxted’s lead. He went on to seal his hat-trick in the final five minutes to wrap up a brilliant win!
POTM: Beau – our hat-trick hero!
Well done, team 👏

A 10-man Y8 Oxted welcomed Imberhorne for a repeat of last year’s friendly. Despite being a player down, Oxted were forced into long-ball football and stood strong with some brilliant defending.
Oscar latched onto a through ball from Harry and fired home the opener from outside the box with a superb finish into the far corner. The visitors soon equalised after capitalising on a cross.
In the second half, Oxted dug deep, fighting off wave after wave of attacks and working tirelessly as a team to secure the draw. Every single player showed outstanding work ethic against a tough opponent.

Year 9 Team Victory Over Darwin
Oxted put in a brilliant performance! 🔴⚪️
A fast start saw the boys race into a 2–0 lead in the first half. Cody latched onto a through ball and hammered home for the opener, before turning provider to set up Leo for his first of the day. ⚽️⚽️
Oxted slowed a little after the break, but Oli burst down the wing and whipped in a great cross for Leo to slot home neatly. Some messy defending then allowed Darwin to pull one back for 3–1.
The lads settled again and played some lovely football. A clever through ball to Raffi saw him brought down in the box, he stepped up and calmly buried the penalty to make it 4. 🎯
Leo wasn’t done though, completing his hat-trick and then adding a fourth as Oxted finished strongly to wrap up a superb 6–1 win! 💥🔥

Year 7 Football Match Report ⚽️
Our Year 7 students travelled to Trinity School for two games played side by side on their immaculate grass pitches.
The A Team faced a physically stronger opposition but dominated the first half and really should have taken the lead. Harry D came closest, but his effort from close range sailed just over the bar. Some brilliant passing play featured throughout, although we couldn’t quite trouble the Trinity goalkeeper as much as we’d have liked.
The second half was all about determination and solid defending, keeping Trinity at bay with excellent teamwork. Our tactics shifted to hitting them on the break, which almost paid off in the closing stages.
A great all-round performance, capped off with a clean sheet. Final score: 0–0.
POTM: Dylan B ⭐

📣 Inter‑House Challenge Update! 🎵📚✨
Before half term, tutor groups across the school were set a brilliant task: choose their favourite line from a song 🎶. These were then sent to our fabulous House Team, who worked their magic by collating the lyrics and turning them into a brand‑new short story! ✍️💫
After many fantastic entries, a panel of impartial judges awarded 1st place to Foyles House, with Stocketts and Tenchleys tied for 2nd place! 🥇🥈🥈
The winning short story, designed by Katherine and Ben, went as follows:
📖✨
“We are the Champions of the World!” blared from the school speaker as the hall filled with cheers. It was the final round of the House Quiz, and Foyles were tied for first. My best friend muttered, “I push my fingers into my eyes,” trying to block out the noise and think through the last impossible question. Across the row, students grinned nervously and whispered, “Never gonna give you up,” like a promise to the rest of us. The clock ticked down. Doubt crept in, but Foyles stood tall, took a breath, and smiled. “Let it go, let it go, can’t hold it back anymore.” We stopped overthinking and trusted ourselves. The buzzer sounded. Our answer flashed on the screen. CORRECT! For a second there was silence. Then the hall erupted. We weren’t just celebrating points, we were celebrating teamwork, courage, and the moment we realised we could actually win!”
📚💛💥
A huge thank you to all the tutor groups who contributed, your creativity was amazing! 🌟
Keep an eye (and an ear!) out for more Inter‑House competitions coming your way soon 👀🏆

Year 8 B Squad travelled to Trinity for a friendly fixture this afternoon. The game started relatively evenly, with little action for either side in the first half.
Oxted began to settle into the match after the break, which paid off when they took the lead, with Harry T’s strike proving too much for the keeper to parry.
Unfortunately, a series of unforced errors put Oxted into panic mode, and they conceded three goals in quick succession.
Final score: 3–1 to Trinity.
A huge well done to Lucca, who made his first school football appearance today! ⭐️

The second half saw an improved Oxted performance, but they fell two behind. A well‑worked corner then led to Lewis pulling one back.
Pushing for an equaliser left more space at the back, and Warlingham extended their lead to seal a 4–1 win.
Well played, everyone, great effort throughout. ⚽️💙

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.
