The Shires - Oakham

Additional Information

Oakham Shires School offers a unique and stimulating environment for young people with Autism, where every student is able to make outstanding progress in their personal development and enjoy success in their education in preparation for being an adult with SEND in modern Britain.

Everything we do is centred around helping young people rediscover a love of learning, develop confidence in themselves, and prepare for successful adult lives with SEND. We understand that many of our pupils arrive having experienced disrupted education, anxiety around school, and a loss of trust in educational settings. Our role is not simply to educate – it is to rebuild confidence, restore belief and create opportunities for every young person to succeed.

Success looks different for every young person. Whether preparing for qualifications, developing independence, accessing work experience or building the confidence to participate in their community, we focus on equipping students with the knowledge, skills and resilience they need for life beyond school. Our ambition is that every student leaves Oakham Shires with greater confidence, meaningful achievements and a positive vision for their future.
