Oxted School

What Oxted School does

Oxted School is a state-funded co-educational secondary school located in Oxted, Surrey, United Kingdom, serving students aged 11-18 across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5 (Years 7-13). The school has operated continuously since 1929 and joined The Howard Partnership Trust (THPT), an exempt charitable trust comprising 13 primary, secondary, and special schools across the South East of England, in 2015. It is described as one of the largest and most dynamic comprehensive schools in the country, delivering a 50-lesson two-week timetable covering 16 subjects at KS3, a GCSE and BTEC pathway at KS4 (including EBacc), and A-Levels, BTECs, and Applied Criminology at Sixth Form (KS5), with a minimum 16-19 Study Programme of 540 planned hours per year.

The school is structured around a five-House pastoral system (Detillens, Foyles, Grants, Stocketts, Tenchleys) and supplements its academic offering with Personal Development, Duke of Edinburgh's Award (one of the country's largest centres), a Specialist Centre for the Visually Impaired, and an extensive SEND provision delivered in partnership with external Speech and Language and Educational Psychology agencies. Technology integration relies on off-the-shelf EdTech platforms — Microsoft Teams for remote live lessons, Class Charts for behaviour and homework tracking, Sparx Maths and Sparx Reader, Educake for formative assessment, Accelerated Reader, and the School Gateway parent app — rather than proprietary systems. Admissions are administered via Surrey County Council's coordinated scheme, with the catchment area centred on Oxted and surrounding villages.

Oxted School is a non-profit institution funded primarily through UK government per-pupil grants channelled via The Howard Partnership Trust; tuition is free at the point of delivery. Limited fee-bearing revenue streams include school meals, third-party uniform purchases (Ellis Scott Schoolwear), and optional enrichment activities. The school also operates a School Direct teacher training consortium in partnership with the University of Sussex, University of Brighton, and several partner schools, contributing a non-tuition income line tied to teacher recruitment. As a constituent academy of a multi-academy trust, Oxted does not publish standalone financials, and its strategic direction is set within THPT's broader governance framework.
