In the Lower School, there are plenty of activities and trips every weekend. With the exception of Lower One, everyone has lessons on Saturday mornings.

We consider this final year provides great preparation for university and life beyond school. There are opportunities for integration between the two houses, and within each house there is a strong sense of community and support.

We do this to encourage them to become even more independent and to further develop their self-motivation and self-discipline as they prepare for their A-levels and IB exams. We are unique in bringing all of Form 7 together into their own final year houses, Round House for the girls and School House for the boys. Why do pupils move to a separate house for their final year? You can find a fuller explanation on our boarding pages. You can select which nights are taken, during the week or over the weekend, to best suit your family’s needs. Equally, we know that some families want a more flexible option, so we offer a flexi-boarding package, where families can choose up to 5 nights per week.

We are a large boarding school with high numbers of full boarders joining us from across the East Midlands and the UK, as well as some international students. On average, 10 pupils receive offers to study at either Oxford or Cambridge in a wide range of subjects. Other go onto pursue specialist courses at elite colleges such as RADA, the Royal Northern College of Music and the Ruskin School of Art.

We have a number of pupils who choose to continue their studies further afield and head for the USA or Europe. The vast majority of our pupils go on to study at the university of their choice. If you have any concerns, questions, or just feel you just want to ‘touch base’ on how your child is progressing or settling in, members of staff will be happy to help you at any point in the term. We also send home progress reports at half term and a full progress report at the end of each term. We have very small tutor groups (8-9 pupils) and your child’s tutor will keep in regular contact with you. How do you keep me informed about my child’s progress? We would generally be looking for a candidate to obtain a minimum of four 6/B grades and three 5/C grades at IGCSE/GCSE. The expected pass mark at CE is 55%.ġ6+ entry is based on an interview, as well as personal and academic reports from the candidate’s current school. Pupils joining Oakham in the Lower School are not required to sit entrance exams on moving up to the Middle School at 13+.ġ3+ entry is usually through the Common Entrance (CE) exam taken at your child’s current school or through the Oakham entrance exam. A confidential report will be requested from the Head of your child’s current school. Children will also have an interview with a Housemaster/mistress or the Head of Lower School. The assessment consists of a written English paper combined with a short skills-testing exercise, plus an online diagnostic test covering Maths, English, verbal & non-verbal reasoning skills. Class sizes vary depending on year group and the subject, but they are generally considered to be quite small, due to the high number of sets.ġ0+, 11+ and 12+ entry is by way of our entrance assessment. There are just over 1000 pupils at Oakham, which sounds like a lot, but there are 3 sections to the School – Lower, Middle and Upper – so it really doesn’t feel that big! There are approximately 200 pupils in the Lower School (Lower One to Form 2), 450 in the Middle School (Forms 3 to 5) and 400 in the Upper School (Forms 6 and 7). How many pupils are there at Oakham School? (We also know that pupils may have their own questions, so we have a pupil FAQ section written specifically with them in mind.) Our Admissions team will be very happy to help you, but we thought that it might be helpful to put some additional information in one place for you. Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions we have to make.
