Schools in Oakham

Oakham is the county town of Rutland, England's smallest historic county, a compact market settlement of around 12,000 people set in the Vale of Catmose in the East Midlands, west of Rutland Water. Its scale is its appeal.

East Midlands Railway services from Oakham station reach Leicester in under an hour and Peterborough in around thirty minutes. Families seeking primary places concentrate around the catchments close to the Norman castle and market square, while Whissendine, to the northwest, is sought-after for its rural school options. Uppingham, to the south, shares the county's compact character and competitive school interest.
