Foundation News & Events

The annual 1584 Society luncheon may have been cancelled this year, but the members found a way to come together through a virtual cocktail hour, hosted by our new 1584 Society President, Peter Lawson. An OO (‘60), former parent and trustee, Peter took over stewardship of Oakham’s giving society just before the pandemic struck, so this was his first event as the society president.

We are delighted to announce that, thanks to the generosity of the Oakham School community, we have exceeded our fundraising target to buy new hymn books for the Chapel.

Autumn is officially here, and as the weather begins to turn and the leaves with it, now seems a good time to reflect upon our summer activities in the Foundation.

For the first time since 2011, the Foundation held a telephone campaign seeking to reconnect with OOs and fundraise for SpringBoard Bursaries.
