Oakham School

Oakham School, located in the charming market town of Oakham, Rutland, is a leading independent school in the UK, offering a well-rounded and progressive education to over 1000 day and boarding students. The school's diverse curriculum and state-of-the-art facilities in various departments, such as Sport, Drama, Art and Design, and Music, enable students to excel in their chosen fields.

Oakham School fosters a global-minded approach to education, with the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma being popular among Sixth Form students, and the introduction of the IB curriculum for Years 7-9 from September 2019. This commitment to a modern skill set and self-confidence prepares students to succeed in any chosen field. Although Oakham is not an academic hothouse, an impressive two-thirds of its students progress to Russell Group universities, and the school has produced a notable number of Olympians and professional sportspeople.

Pastoral care at Oakham School is exceptional, but students need to be prepared to immerse themselves in the school's culture and adopt the grounded, busy, and resilient traits that the school instills. For those looking for a truly broad and exciting environment, Oakham School provides the perfect platform for success.
