Uppingham School Visiting Day

Event date: 5 Oct 2024

Event time: 10:00 am

"We care about who our pupils become. We believe in the transformative power of education and our commitment to a holistic education is historic and wholehearted."

Uppingham is one of the UK’s foremost coeducational independent boarding schools. Founded in 1584, today we educate 805 pupils aged 13 to 18, offering state-of-the-art science, music and sports facilities, a strong academic profile and outstanding pastoral care. We care about who our pupils become. We believe in the transformative power of education and our commitment to a holistic education is historic and wholehearted. Intellectual rigour, exploration, critical analysis, creativity, risk taking, communication, teamwork – all are central to the way we guide, nurture and inspire our young people. Our role is to give pupils the skills, confidence and capabilities to navigate their own paths through life – and the unshakeable sense of self they need to influence the world around them. Through the course of the academic year, we run a series of Visiting Days for entry into the Fourth Form or Lower Fifth (Years 9 and 10) and into the Sixth Form (Year 12). The events are hosted by the Registrar and offer an interactive opportunity to meet the Headmaster, other senior members of staff, a Housemaster or Housemistress, and current pupils. There will be good opportunity for you to ask questions and, we hope, gain a real sense of what makes Uppingham distinctive.
