Projects
The Sir Peter Scott Building Refurbishment
The Modern Languages Department, the largest Department in the School, has outgrown its present accommodation in the Gascoigne Building. The plans are to turn the Sir Peter Scott Building into a state-of-the-art languages centre to house the Department. This prestigious and exciting two-stage process will place the School’s languages provision at the forefront, preparing its pupils for life and work in the international world.

The Life-Changing Bursary Scheme hopes to provide opportunities for young individuals to fulfil their potential, and offers an education which they otherwise would not have access to. Read more . . .
Thommy Purbrook General Scholarship Endowment Fund
Thommy Purbrook's career at Oundle was tragically cut short in December 2008
when she died of a meningococcal infection contracted while on a School trip

a Thommy Purbrook General Scholarship at Oundle, which they and we believe to
be the most fitting memorial to Thommy.

The Cripps Library
A fund-raising appeal for the Cripps Library refurbishment was launched at Grocers' Hall in March 2010. OOs, former and current parents donated generously, and the project was completed in October 2011. The School worked closely with Luke Hughes and Company on the plans for the library, which increased shelf capacity, reader spaces and computer workstations, improved the lighting, and provided better display for our collection of Greek pots, archive material and rare books.
