Uppingham School, founded in 1584, is one of Britains leading co-educational independent boarding schools. It is located in the small market town of Uppingham, amid the rolling fields of Rutland.
The Sports Centre
The Sports Centre is a dual use facility for both Uppingham School and the local community. As well as providing a first-class facility for the Schools pupils, the Centre has been designed to allow increased access by local residents, sports clubs and schools. It includes a sports hall, 25m swimming pool, gym, squash courts and dance studios. The Centre also houses the Schools PE Department and includes a hospitality suite for match-day entertaining. In December 2021, the Centres fitness suite was refurbished and supplied with new state-of-the-art fitness equipment creating an enhanced 60 station gym.
After accommodating the educational and social demands of pupils, the School is eager to develop wider access to the Centre and to encourage participation by the local community in a range of sports and leisure activities organised and managed by the Centre staff. The Centre is managed by the Schools trading company on a commercial basis. Critical to the success of the Centre is a commercially targeted and client focused team. Staff will readily accept the responsibility of representing the School and enterprise company in the local community.
