OPEN Learning Partnership
Both Oundle School and Imperial College London are members of the Oundle, Peterborough and East Northants (OPEN) Learning Partnership alongside Hub Schools - Kettering Buccleuch Academy, Thomas Deacon Academy, Prince William School, Oundle CE Primary School and Laxton Junior School.
Each year, several thousand young people take part in a range of online and in-person events hosted by this regional partnership.

- A STEM resource library (offered to any state school) which provides apparatus and classroom resources to support science lessons from early years through to A Level.
- Family STEM afternoons for parents/guardians and children to undertake experiments together.
