Oakhamian Magazines

  • OAK
  • Subfonds
  • 1884 - 2023

An almost complete collection of Oakham School magazines dating from 1884. Some editions are available as individuals whilst others can be found in larger bound volumes. There is also a collection of the Old Oakhamian magazine which is a separate school magazine for Old Oakhamians and their news.

This magazine covers all aspects of school life. Sporting, academic, and artistic achievements of the pupils are celebrated alongside news updates from various departments. In later issues, c. 1980s, houses are given space to announce news and in house achievements.

Sporting records are a key component of the magazine since its inception and there are accounts of matches (including scores and teams) in each edition. Again, since the 1980s, focus has shifted to also include all of the teams that compete for the school, instead of just focusing on the A team.

Images and photographs start to appear in the magazines from the 1970s and the magazine was first printed fully in colour in the 1990s.
