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.

🎶 Spring Concert Success! 🎶
Last night’s Spring Concert was a fantastic celebration of music and talent across all year groups. From powerful choral pieces and energetic band performances to stunning solos, our students shone on stage and made us incredibly proud.
A huge thank you to all performers, our brilliant sound engineer, our hardworking stage crew, and the parents, carers and staff who supported the evening.

The staff hockey team were hoping to improve on the narrow staff defeat in the netball match yesterday.
Despite a great effort the students maintained their lead until the end. The Sixth Form students are having a very successful week as they were triumphant against the Year 8 in dodgeball with a 2 - 0 win and also against the Year 7 in football with another 2 - 0 win.
The winners of the most outstanding costumes of the week so far were Year 13 Autumn and Tom for their Hungry caterpillar outfits yesterday and for today Year 12 Liam and Archie for their impressive Flight club duo including great make up.

🎖️ An Inspiring Visit for Our Students 🎖️
Our students had the incredible opportunity to meet Lieutenant Colonel (Retd) Sulle Alhaji, thanks to our ongoing collaboration with Futures For All.
In a highly engaging and interactive session, Lt Col Sulle shared his powerful personal story, from growing up in Wallsend, to joining the Parachute Regiment, and later transferring to the Royal Army Physical Training Corps. He spoke about his involvement in conflicts including Northern Ireland, the Falkland Islands, and Belize, as well as his instrumental role in developing the Army’s Youth Outreach Team, created to inspire and support young people facing challenges.
Lt Col Sulle also addressed important topics relevant to everyone: racial discrimination, bullying, peer pressure, and the value of being a leader rather than simply a follower. The talk was not only insightful and thought‑provoking, but also incredibly enjoyable, with plenty of humour and memorable stories along the way.
A huge thank you to Futures For All for making this possible, and to Sulle for taking the time to visit and inspire our students.

🌟Science Week! 🌟
Dr Luana Parisi, Senior Lecturer at the University of East London, delivered an inspiring talk to two thirds of our Year 9 cohort as part of Oxted Science Week.
Her talk, “Breaking the Binary: Gender Equity in STEM”, explored the importance of representation, inclusion, and breaking down stereotypes within science, technology, engineering, and maths. Our students were fully engaged and left with plenty to think about, a truly empowering session!
A huge thank you to Dr Parisi for sharing her expertise and helping our students see the possibilities that lie ahead.

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.
