Uppingham is one of the UK’s foremost co-educational independent boarding schools. Originally founded in 1584, our Foundation Charter was granted by Queen Elizabeth I in 1587. 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. The cornerstone of Uppingham’s philosophy is that every child is capable of excellence; our job is to identify in which field. Whether a pupil’s ambitions are academic, sporting, artistic or humanitarian, there are plentiful opportunities for self fulfilment.

What is it for a pupil that marks out Uppingham from many first-class schools? Above all, energy and ambition. The genuinely immersives even-days-a-week boarding experience is increasingly hard to find, but remains at the heart of the successes of Uppingham’s pupils. Provided with a rich and diverse range of choices in a modern environment they flourish, making boarding life busy, varied, challenging and rewarding.

Perhaps most importantly, Uppingham’s community stimulates a deep sense of belonging -what happens at the School has a profound and enriching impression on all. Our pupils are given the space to discover who they are and what they can be, encapsulated with a true sense of social responsibility. They leave aged eighteen, equipped with broad experiences and a contemporary outlook ready for the challenges of the outside world.
