✈️ BA Speedbird After School Club Visit to Gatwick Airport ✈️
Our BA Speedbird After School Club students recently had the exciting opportunity to visit Gatwick Airport for an inspiring careers day, organised by Louisa from the STEM Centre alongside Barry and Dave.
The day began with a fast-paced Career Speed Networking session, where students met Rob, Morgan, Carol, Jo, and members of the Security Team responsible for issuing airport ID passes. Students had just two minutes to “guess” each person’s role by asking questions that could only be answered with yes or no – a fun and engaging way to explore the wide range of careers at the airport.
Later, Kelly and Fin spoke to the group about Gatwick’s Sustainability Agenda, explaining how the airport’s Decade of Change strategy will positively impact the airport, the local community, and the environment.
Students were then taken on a fascinating terminal tour by Jo and Louisa, who shared valuable insights into how the airport operates behind the scenes, including how teams work together to manage challenges during busy travel periods.
The day concluded with a talk from Barry, who highlighted the many career pathways available at Gatwick, including apprenticeship opportunities. He also shared interesting facts about aircraft landings and take-offs, and introduced students to the airport’s latest online work experience platform, designed to help young people learn more about careers at our local international airport.
👏 A huge thank you to everyone involved in organising such a valuable experience, and to all the employees who generously gave their time.

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.
