🗣️ Time to Talk Day 2026 💛
Today is all about starting small conversations that make a big difference. Checking in with someone; a friend, classmate or family member; can help them feel seen, supported and less alone. A simple “How are you?” could be exactly what someone needs today.
Students will also be taking part in a Time to Talk tutor‑time activity, helping them reflect on the importance of open conversations. At lunchtime, we’ll be running a Time to Talk Games Corner ; a relaxed space for students to chat, connect and have fun together.
Let’s make kindness, listening and openness part of our everyday culture.
💬 It’s time to talk. It’s time to listen. It’s time to support each other. 💙

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.
