Upper School is where your future starts to take shape. It is a time of greater independence, deeper intellectual exploration and growing self-confidence, as you discover more about your strengths, interests and ambitions.
Here, you’ll be encouraged to challenge yourself, embrace new opportunities and make informed choices about the path that’s right for you.
At the heart of your Sixth Form experience is one of the broadest and most flexible post-16 academic offers available. You can choose from, and combine, A-levels, BTECs or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, which Oakham has proudly delivered for more than 25 years. This distinctive mix allows you to follow a pathway that reflects your strengths, aspirations and preferred way of learning, while maintaining breadth, thinking critically and engaging deeply with the subjects that matter most to you.
Beyond the classroom, you’ll take increasing ownership of your learning, time and personal development. Through leadership opportunities, service, sport, creativity, enrichment and life within your House, you’ll build the confidence, resilience and character to embrace challenges, seize opportunities and shape your own path. No two journeys are the same, but every Oakham student leaves Sixth Form ready for what comes next.
