๐ Childrenโs Mental Health Week 2026 ๐
From 9โ15 February, we are joining schools across the UK to celebrate Childrenโs Mental Health Week, created by Place2Be to raise awareness of children and young peopleโs mental health. This yearโs theme is โThis Is My Placeโ, focusing on helping every child feel valued, supported and that they truly belong. A strong sense of belonging plays a vital role in young peopleโs mental health, confidence and wellbeing.
Throughout the week, students will take part in activities that link to our five themed wellbeing days:
๐ฟ Mindful Monday โ grounding, calm and awareness
๐ฌ Talk It Out Tuesday โ connection and conversations
โ๏ธ Wellbeing Wednesday โ healthy habits and balance
๐ Thankful Thursday โ gratitude and reflection
โจ Feel Good Friday โ joy and celebrating strengths
To bring the theme to life across the school, we will have:
โ Tutorโtime activity linked to the theme of the week
โ A lunchtime themed activity each day for students to drop into
โ A short themed reflection at the end of every Period 5 lesson to help students finish the day positively
This week is a chance for us all to help create a school community where every young person feels they can say โThis Is My Place.โ

๐ Inspiring Day for Our Year 8 Students! ๐
A group of our Year 8 students had the exciting opportunity to attend the Engineering Tomorrow Renewable Energy STEM Workshop at Gatwick Airport.
The day began with a brilliant introduction from Helen Cowper, followed by Erik, who demonstrated how electricity can be generated from renewable sources such as the sun and wind.
Working in teams, students designed a mock building and generated power using the resources provided, putting their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills to the test! โก๐๏ธ
The afternoon brought even more excitement as Louisa V from the STEM Centre introduced LEGOยฎ Education. Students built, coded, and raced their own hoppers, bringing engineering concepts to life in a fun and interactive way! ๐ค๐จ
A truly inspiring day packed with hands-on learning, collaboration, and new skills, helping our young learners explore future pathways in engineering and STEM. ๐๐งโจ

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