DRYVEBOX returned to Oxted yesterday for our second experience of the portable golf simulator!

Students from Years 7-11 enjoyed the opportunity to take part in interactive golf sessions throughout the day, led by two PGA professionals. It was fantastic to see so many students getting involved, developing new skills and enjoying a unique sporting experience.

A huge thank you to the team for another brilliant day of golf at Oxted!

Oxted Year 9 hosted John Fisher in their first full fixture of the year. The team battled hard throughout the match, showing real improvement in both defence and attack. Despite a determined performance and plenty of positive moments, the visitors proved too strong on the day.

Well done to all involved for their effort, teamwork and commitment. Keep working hard, Year 9!
