Founded in 1584 under the charter of Queen Elizabeth I, Uppingham is distinguished by its commitment to providing an all-round education, where the development of each individual and their unique talents lies at the heart of the School’s ethos. Edward Thring, the School’s eminent Victorian Headmaster, believed that pupils should be given the opportunity to flourish in every area of life, pioneering the introduction of music, sport, and wellbeing into British school life. Today, Uppingham continues to champion the belief that every student has the potential to thrive, and that education must nurture not only intellectual achievement but also moral, integrity, creativity, and physical wellbeing. Under the leadership of Dr Maloney, Thring’s holistic philosophy remains central to Uppingham’s ethos, as the School equips its pupils to succeed in the 21st century and to be positive, creative forces for good in their communities.
