Forward Thinking, Ambitious, Caring
Oakham School is a vibrant, fully co-educational boarding and day school for a thousand 10 to 18-year-olds, offering GCSEs, the IB Diploma and A-levels, located in the heart of rural England. Our uniquely balanced pupil community of 500 boarding and 500 day pupils - half girls and half boys - live and work together in our beautiful 70-acre school campus, which is part of the historic market town of Oakham in Rutland - Britain’s smallest county. 19% of our student population is from overseas and 38 different nationalities are represented at the School. Visitors to Oakham comment on its friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere. Key to an Oakham education is experience. We want our pupils’ overall Oakham School experience to be joyous, informative and memorable. An Oakham education is powered by our connected curriculum, where the three educational pillars of Academic, Pastoral and Co-curricular learning are fully integrated across all age groups. Not only do we offer a wide range of academic pathways, our pupils can enjoy a rich variety of sport, music and drama, as well as a thriving Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Combined Cadet Force and Voluntary Action programme.
