There are a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. Oxted School is a large school and we run a massive variety, from sports, arts and crafts, to design technology, ICT, and our computer based clubs. We have homework based clubs, special interest clubs such as Warhammer and peer mentoring where sixth formers look after younger students, often in their first year of school. We also have volunteering groups which traditionally run with the Edinborough scheme, so they will be doing walks too. They will also be volunteering within charity shops and the like. The final type of clubs we have within Oxted are enrichment activities. These are trips that are relevant to the national curriculum but not absolutely necessary. So, for example, trips to the battle fields and foreign exchanges.
