The Oakham School Foundation

Our mission is to provide as many opportunities as possible for pupils, irrespective of their ability to pay fees.

However, bursaries are not our only mission: we seek to support major Capital Projects to enhance the facilities for teaching and learning at Oakham. The Memorial Chapel, Smallbone Library, Mehra Faculty of Science, Jerwood School of Design, BAF Smith Pavilion, Wilson Pavilion, and the Faculty of Social Sciences were all made possible by generous support from our community and make a difference to all Oakhamians daily.

The Foundation Project Fund enables smaller projects put forward by staff to enrich the experience of pupils inside and outside the classroom. These are facilitated by donations from OOs, former and current parents.

We hope that you will consider joining the tradition of philanthropy to Oakham which has extended for more than 400 years. Every gift of whatever size and in whatever way makes a world of difference, whether your donation is to bursaries or Capital Projects, large or small. Thank you in advance for your generosity and for helping to enhance Oakham’s future.
