β½ Year 7 B Team Friendly vs Sackville β½
The Oxted Year 7 B team travelled to Sackville School for a friendly fixture. The game was fairly even throughout, but Oxted went into half-time 3β0 down after a few defensive issues.
Despite the scoreline, the boys played well, with Beau, Edward, and Harry all testing the Sackville goalkeeper from distance. With the full squad getting plenty of game time, five substitutions were made at the break.
The second half saw no further goals, but Oxted dominated, creating multiple chances that were unfortunately left unfinished.
β POTM: Alex S for an excellent second-half performance in midfield.

β½ Year 10 Football vs Reigate β Match Report β½
Great effort from the Year 10 boys, who just couldnβt quite get over the line against Reigate. After going 2β0 down, they showed fantastic fight and determination to get back into the game through a well-taken goal from Haydon, but unfortunately it wasnβt enough to complete the comeback.
A double POTM this week for Toby and Haydon, who were both brilliant in goal throughout. π§€β
Proud of the effort, attitude, and resilience on display.

π€ Year 8 B Squad Match Report β Oxted vs Sackville π€
The Year 8 B squad welcomed Sackville on a sunny afternoon up on the top field. Oxted started a little slow, and Sackville were quick to capitalise, scoring the only goal of the first half.
In the second half, Oxted came out a completely different side. They decided to turn up the tempo and began knocking the ball around beautifully. After a superb run from Oscar driving into the box, the ball fell kindly to none other than debutant Jasper, who calmly slotted home to make it 1β1.
Oxted continued to pile on the pressure, which paid off when Thomas converted Luccaβs perfectly placed corner to put Oxted 2β1 ahead.
Some solid defending saw the boys see out the game and secure their second-ever win! π₯πͺ
POTM: Jasper β

πβ¨ Celebrating World Book Day! β¨π
Last week, as part of our World Book Day celebrations, a group of our wonderful students from Years 8, 10 and 11 visited St Maryβs to read with their Year 3 pupils.
It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to share their love of reading, build confidence, and inspire younger children to enjoy books as much as they do. The Year 3 pupils absolutely loved it!
Weβre so proud of everyone who took part. ππ

Our Year 12 Travel & Tourism students enjoyed an inspiring visit to Biggin Hill Airport, hosted by Community Manager & STEM Ambassador, Hannah G. βοΈ
The day began with a fascinating introduction to the airportβs WWII history and its growth since COVID, showcasing the wide range of career opportunities available within the aviation industry. Students were then given an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Bombardierβs maintenance hangar, where they met industry professionals and an apprentice who shared his own career journey. π§π
Next, the group visited Castle Air to learn more about helicopter operations. James spoke about his progression from work experience to employment, giving students a real insight into pathways within the sector. π
To round off the day, Hannah introduced us to the airportβs fantastic customer service team, who guided our students through the passenger journey and explained how they work together as one big family β even with the challenges of shift work. π¨ββοΈπ©ββοΈ
A huge thank you to Hannah and the entire Biggin Hill Airport team for welcoming our students and sharing such inspiring stories about careers in aviation. π

π Oxted Year 7 β First Full Match as a Squad! π
Oxted Year 7 played their first full game together as a squad today and showed some real potential from start to finish.
A very even first half saw Elliott terrorise the Lingfield defence, scoring two brilliant individual tries before providing the final pass for Jacob to go over after a great team move.
Lingfield controlled much of the second half, but Oxted kept pushing right to the end.
The half-back pairing of Zac and Max linked up well to spark some attacking play for Caleb and Charlie, while powerful charges from Shea and Noah gave a glimpse of what this team can build on.
A very positive performance from a new squad who really could develop into something special! πͺ
Final score: 15β30

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 Oxtedβs success grew and the school became more popular a fifth House was needed and Stocketts was created in 1965.
