Scope and content
This collection highlights the work and life of Oakham School pupils both during and after their time at the school. The collection has an excellent representation of the careers, work, and exam aspect of school life, including examination results, leaver destinations, work experience and information on Project 20/20.
There are detailed records on the council, Decem and prefects, particularly in their recruitment, meeting minutes, and handbooks.
In several of the series, there is a strong photographic collection illuminating the rich daily life of the school and its pupils. This is shared alongside copies of pupil magazines, arts calendars, and records of pupil achievements.
