The Educational Foundation

Our Educational Foundation seeks to support the further education of young people by awarding a grant to those who may be beginning an apprenticeship, vocational training or starting university/college.

This endeavour was a keen passion of Parson Nicholas Latham who established at least five schools for the children of the poor of his time.

• Applicants must be resident in the parish of Oundle and must have attended a state school in Oundle for no less than two years;
