This collection covers the multitude of sports that pupils can do at Oakham School. Sports include cricket, rugby, hockey, athletics, netball and swimming as some of the richest in terms of items in the sub-series.

Most sub-series have a good photographic record of first teams, alongside comprehensive fixture and team lists. Some sub-series will contain correspondence, programmes and administrative documents.

There is an extensive collection of trophies and shields awarded to pupils and Old Oakhamians for their sporting achievements.

A wooden shield awarded by Rotary Club of Rutland at the Rutland Debating Festival in memory of P.P. 'Pop' Westmoreland. The shield has one central medallion and nineteen small metal medallions, nine of which are engraved with the wining school and year. Oakham School won in 1987, in 1992 and in 1995. Other winners are Uppingham Community College, Uppingham School, Vale of Catmose College and Casterton Community College.
