Welcome to Oakham School
Life at Oakham
Life at Oakham is shaped by an education that values curiosity, character and academic excellence. The aim is to get students ready for a long, full and meaningful life - not just to pass exams.
An Inclusive Boarding and Day Community
Boarding at Oakham – whether full-time, weekly or flexible – is about more than where students stay. It is about creating the time, space and community for them to grow in confidence and independence.

Day students combine the familiarity of home with full participation in Oakham life, shaping the rhythm of each day around their individual commitments.

A welcome from our Head
By providing every student with an education that stretches far beyond a single set of academic results, we aim to shape character, capability and futures. We pride ourselves on seeing every individual for who they are and providing the experiences and challenges that will develop their interests, skills and potential.
“An Oakham education is designed to last a lifetime, not just your time in school.”
Lucy Pearson, Head
