Overview

Oakham is one of the UK’s leading schools offering both IB and AS/A2 in the Sixth Form. Although academic progress and achievement is at the heart of the School it is supplemented by a huge range of activities and sporting opportunities. The total curriculum is a key feature of the School encouraging personal development, teamworking, communication skills and opportunities for leadership - essential lifeskills for all students. Both pupils and parents receive regular feedback through the personal tutoring system.

Our considerable experience in caring for boys and girls whose parents are based overseas recognises the importance of good communication and acknowledging their specific needs. ‘Home at School’ for each student is in their House community with its Housemaster or Housemistress, as well as two Resident Tutors and Matron.

The School is set in attractive surroundings and the teaching areas are equipped to a high standard. Facilities include one of the best school libraries in the country, extensive science laboratories including a 200 seater Lecture Theatre. Students also benefit from a Theatre and Music School which are open all weekend, in addition to renowned sporting facilities. Our campus site is only a 5 minute walk from a small friendly and affluent market
