🏉 Oxted Year 8 Rugby 🏉
Oxted Year 8 continued their rugby journey with a home 7s fixture and produced another exciting performance. A further outing for the new kit saw plenty of attacking flair and a great number of tries.
Isaac and Alex drove the team forward superbly, while Freddie was outstanding in defence. A special mention goes to Dom, who made his debut after impressing in PE and celebrated with his first try for the team.
Further scores came from Alex, Sonny and Logan, with the try of the match coming from Liam, who collected a clearing kick and ran the length of the pitch to score in style.
Final score:
Oxted 55
Beacon 25
Squad:
Dom, Alex, Freddie, Isaac, Benji, Rhys, Vinnie, Sonny, Logan, Liam
A fantastic team effort and great progress shown by everyone involved 👏

🏐 Year 8 Handball Fixture v De Stafford 🏐
After enjoying their recent PE lessons, a number of our Year 8 students took part in a handball fixture against De Stafford. Oxted conceded within the first 10 seconds and quickly realised the quality of their opposition.
Despite a lack of confidence early on, the team grew into the game brilliantly, beginning to understand how to break their opponents down and stop attacks. Goals came from Sid (3), Sonny (2) and Liam.
The experienced De Stafford side ultimately came away with the win, 12–6, but it was a fantastic learning experience for the squad. A massive shoutout to Elijah, who produced save after save in goal and worked tirelessly to keep the score down. Well done to all involved! 👏

A debut for the new kit was an absolute belter. End‑to‑end, physical, and packed with some outstanding attacking play.
Carrington got the game underway with a very early try, but Oxted soon sprung into life as Zac raced out wide to level things up.
Oxted then strung together some excellent attacking phase play. A powerful run from Noah saw him finish off a great move, before Shea did the same just minutes later.
Carrington struck next and built some good momentum, but Caleb seized an opportunity to counter‑attack and went the length for a superb individual try.
More attacking exchanges followed, with Carrington adding another, before Zac finished off the pick of the tries. Debutant Harrison’s powerful carry set Kian on his way, who then fed Zac to score.
Another barnstorming run from Noah led to his second try, and Zac completed his hat trick after some great footwork. Carrington added a couple more tries before the final whistle.
The game will be remembered for the attacking rugby on show, but both teams can be incredibly proud of their defence too.
We would like to thank MyClub for the new kit, along with our fantastic and supportive team sponsors: Stage & Tiers, JPL Engineering, Tatsfield Aquatics, CrossFit Teens, SKN and Frontline Performance Co.

Thrive ApproachInclusion isn’t about what’s “wrong” with a child.
It’s about what might be getting in the way.
That might be:
- The environment
- Expectations
- Relationships
- How support is structured
When we shift the focus, new possibilities open up.

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.
