When Lara arrived at Oakham from Germany, she expected to stay for just one year. Instead, she found a second home, lifelong friends and countless opportunities to try something new.

From studying the IB Diploma to taking part in CCF, completing her Gold DofE, performing in music and discovering a passion for sailing, Lara made the most of every opportunity that came her way. Along the way, she grew in confidence, independence and self-belief.

As she prepares for a gap year in New Zealand before studying Engineering, Lara leaves Oakham ready for her next adventure and excited for what lies ahead.

Congratulations, Lara. We're so proud of all you've achieved and can't wait to see where life takes you next. 🌍💙

Post A-level and BTEC Results Day, many students will be celebrating confirmed university places. For others, receiving their results may have prompted them to reconsider their options or explore a different pathway.

In our latest blog, Dr Rachael Pearson, Head of Futures at Oakham School, explores how Clearing is giving more students the opportunity to reshape their plans and find the course or university that feels right for them.

The blog also includes practical advice for parents supporting their children through the process, and a timely reminder that Results Day can mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

Congratulations to Hugo on achieving exceptional IB Diploma results and securing his place at the University of Exeter. 🎉

Driven by a genuine love of learning, Hugo made the most of every opportunity during his time at Oakham. From sailing, debating and volunteering to international expeditions, he embraced new experiences, challenged himself, and discovered passions that extended far beyond the classroom.

That same open-minded approach shaped his academic journey. Choosing the breadth of the IB allowed him to pursue a wide range of interests, while the resilience and confidence he developed at Oakham gave him the courage to rethink his university plans and explore new possibilities through Clearing. In doing so, he found a course that felt like the perfect fit.

Hugo’s story is a fantastic example of student-shaped learning and the Value of Oakham in action.

Learning a language is one thing. Having the confidence to use it on stage is another!

Last term, our Form 3 and Form 4 Spanish students enjoyed an interactive performance of Un Ensayo Desastroso (A Disastrous Rehearsal) by Onatti Productions, alongside Year 9 and Year 10 Spanish students from Catmose College.

Based on Romeo and Juliet, the production invited students to take part in the performance, using their Spanish in a fun and engaging way with the support of the actors. Experiences like this help students develop confidence, strengthen their speaking skills and discover just how enjoyable language learning can be.

It was also a pleasure to welcome students from Catmose College and share the experience together.
