About Uppingham School

Uppingham School, founded in 1584, is one of the leading British boarding schools for boys and girls. Of the school’s roll of 395, all but ten are boarders, making it a true boarding school.

Headmaster Dr Richard Maloney presides over a school renowned for music and the performing arts. But there’s now a strong sporting tradition, too, enhanced by having the greatest area of playing fields of any school in England and by the new sports centre opened by Lord Coe.

Uppingham has a sense of camaraderie and pupils respect each other’s achievements, whether it be with a cello or cricket bat.

All the academic staff are involved as tutors in houses, so the needs of boarders are appreciated and understood all round. A superb team of people in each house nurtures confidence, encourages academic curiosity and sets challenges. This leads to higher expectations and greater achievement.
