Wake Up WednesdayYouTube continues to be one of the most popular platforms for young people, offering a mix of entertainment, creativity and learning.
However, its vast content library and recommendation systems can also expose children to risks that are not always easy to spot.
Our latest #WakeUpWednesday guide highlights key concerns, including:
• Inappropriate or extreme content
• Interaction with strangers
• Risky trends and challenges
• The impact of short-form content
It also offers practical advice, such as using YouTube Kids, setting parental controls and watching content together.

🌟 Dare to Dream Assembly – An Inspiring Start 🌟
Today, a group of our Year 9 students had the exciting opportunity to take part in the first of three Dare to Dream assemblies, led by the inspiring Jack “The Lad” Hayes.
This fantastic programme, generously supported by WSP Engineering, goes beyond the assemblies. Students will also benefit from mentoring sessions with professionals across a range of departments, offering valuable real‑world insight, guidance and inspiration for the future.
The highlight of the day was a powerful whole‑year assembly for the entire Year 9 cohort, where Jack spoke openly about the challenges and barriers young people face today, encouraging students to reflect, stay resilient and believe in their potential.
Thank you WSP Engineering for supporting this brilliant opportunity for our students. 💫

Several Year 10 students attended a fantastic day at Surrey County Council’s Transitions Fair in Reigate last week. It was an inspiring event with so many providers on offer, including post‑Year 11 support and opportunities.
A huge thank you to Tracey and the entire Surrey Careers Hub team for inviting us and for putting on such an amazing event.

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.
