About Oakham School
Oakham is a vibrant, fully co-educational boarding and day school for 10–18 year olds. Our uniquely structured student population – with 50% girls and 50% boys, and 50% of pupils boarding and 50% being day pupils – creates a genuinely inclusive and grounded school community that generates a caring, friendly, and warm atmosphere.
Whilst we are proud of our 400-year heritage, our priority is always to be at the forefront of educational developments. We were one of the first independent schools to move to co-education in 1971 and also one of the first schools to introduce the IB Diploma, alongside A-levels. We continue to look to the future with a focus on effectively teaching pupils Information Literacy.
Opportunities and Facilities
Oakham’s strength lies in providing a spectacularly wide range of opportunities and activities alongside an invigorating and challenging academic curriculum. At 16+, we offer the choice between the IB Diploma and A-levels and other standalone qualifications. We are currently introducing the IB Middle Years Programme for students in Forms 1 to 3. The School has been incredibly successful academically and is recognized nationally for its outstanding achievements in sport, music, drama, and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme.
The School has benefited from significant investment in recent years, including a new classroom block for the Humanities, a state-of-the-art Faculty of Social Sciences, fantastic Science facilities, a purpose-built Medical and Pastoral Centre, and a major redevelopment of the Sports Centre.
Location
The School’s location close to Rutland Water, in the heart of rural England, allows our pupils and staff to enjoy the safety of living and working in a beautifully green campus just a few minutes’ walk from Oakham’s historic town centre and amenities. Oakham’s excellent road and rail links mean that London, Birmingham, and Cambridge are all within easy reach.
Values and Vision
While academic excellence lies at the heart of everything we do, our focus goes beyond encouraging our pupils to achieve outstanding results in their examinations. Our genuinely holistic approach to education means that pupils leave Oakham as intellectually ambitious thinkers, effective and independent learners, and well-equipped with the skills and habits of mind to thrive in tomorrow’s world.
