The purpose of an Oakham Education is to teach students the knowledge, skills and values to flourish at Oakham School and beyond.
Our approach
The School Improvement Plan (SIP), flows directly from our purpose, values and objectives, outlining our plans for the future of Oakham School.
Our values
Our values of Care, Courage, Contribution and Connection represent qualities that we wish to inspire and instil in all our students and that will guide them throughout their lives.
The Connected Curriculum
An Oakham education is built upon three fundamental pillars of learning: Academic, Co-Curricular, and Pastoral. For each of these pillars we have created three related curricula in academic learning, co-curricular learning and pastoral learning to skilfully and thoughtfully come together and form the Connected Curriculum.
Exceptional Pastoral Care
We place outstanding pastoral care at the heart of all we do, ensuring that Oakham School is a caring and courageous community and a great place to live, learn and work.
Educational Excellence
We aim to provide the highest standards of teaching and learning so that all students can fulfil their academic potential. In providing a broad and engaging academic curriculum, there is an abiding aim for academic excellence and intellectual curiosity which will cultivate a lifelong love of learning.
Excellent Opportunities
We aim to provide students with a range of opportunities to develop and pursue interests of a physical, cultural or creative nature within the scope of our co-curriculum. We create opportunities for students to exercise innovation, teamwork and leadership.
