Oakham School

Oakham, United Kingdom · built 1584

Oakham School is a public school (English fee-charging boarding and day school) in Oakham, Rutland, England. It was founded in 1584 by Archdeacon Robert Johnson, along with the nearby Uppingham School. They share a badge design (and a strong rivalry), but Oakham's colours are black and red, whereas Uppingham's colours are blue and white. Under its headmaster John Buchanan, in 1971 Oakham was the first boys' independent secondary school in Britain to accept both male and female pupils throughout the whole school rather than only in the sixth form. In 1995, it was the first British public school to establish an online presence.
