All pupils entering Oakham aged 10+/11+ join one of our four Lower School Houses, situated on the separate Jerwoods campus. Each House contains a mix of around 50 day pupils and boarders, which helps children to integrate quickly into the School and socialise with one another.
Filled with lots of indoor and outdoor spaces for pupils to live, work and play, Jerwoods provides a safe home base from which pupils can explore the rest of the School.
Boarders stay in the comfortable and homely surroundings of Hodges, right in the heart of the Jerwoods campus with a mix of full and flexible boarders who stay between two to five nights a week.
There is great integration between boarders and day pupils and the latter often take full advantage of the option to extend their day and take part in after-school activities and then join boarders for breakfast, supper and prep.
