__________________________________________________________________________________________________ Oakham in the News Wellbeing in Action Absolutely Education carried this insightful feature in which our very own Sarah Gomm, Deputy Head Pastoral, discusses wellbeing and pastoral learning. In Sarah’s words: “While exam results and academia are important, you can probably go through school without understanding covalent bonding, but you absolutely can’t go through life without knowing how to look after your wellbeing.” Oakham School has had a great year of coverage in the local, regional, national and specialist press. As well as reporting on the School’s many achievements, Oakham School is also regarded as a go-to source for expert commentary in the field of education and pastoral care. Copyright material.
