- The co-ed day and boarding school in Rutland says that nothing captures the atmosphere of the school better than the day its first XV rugby team were crowned National Schools’ Cup champions at Twickenham — a match attended by more than 1,000 pupils, staff, parents and Old Oakhamians. Alumni of the school include the comedian Miles Jupp and the former England cricketer Stuart Broad.
- Oakham has a strong extracurricular programme, with interest groups spanning Model UN, sailing, cooking on a budget and yoga. About 60 pupils represent their county or country in their chosen sport.
- A team of 30 staff oversee the PSHE programme. Weekly sessions are held to help pupils focus on their wellbeing and the medical centre has three mental health professionals.
- Alongside A-levels and GCSEs the school offers Btecs and the Extended Project Qualification.
- Scholarships carrying a small fee reduction are offered as well as means-tested bursaries. Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) is available for military families.
