We aim: 

• To develop self-esteem in all students
• To challenge all students to achieve their best
• To encourage positive behaviour, individual responsibility, and ambition
• To provide a happy, safe, caring, and inclusive environment that values each individual and promotes respect and consideration for others
• To prepare students to become confident and responsible citizens
• To provide a broad and balanced curriculum to meet the needs of all students including their personal, social, and spiritual development

Oxted School’s approach is both forward looking and traditional, offering a proven high-quality education. We provide opportunities for students of all abilities to achieve high standards within a caring atmosphere that enables them to develop socially and academically. We work hard to engender in all students’ self-esteem, confidence, and consideration for others through their secondary education. We set high standards for behaviour, promoting traditional values that are important for life-long achievement. We believe that academic attainment flourishes in this atmosphere enabling students to develop into confident and well-rounded young adults. 

The dedication and professionalism of our staff and the support of our parents combine to ensure that at Oxted School, the reality matches the promise.
