Catmose College is a secondary academy school on Huntsmans Drive in Oakham, Rutland. The catchment area covers the county town of Oakham and surrounding villages, although students are drawn from a wider area through parental choice.
Originally Oakham Central School, the school went through a number of name changes. From 1972 until 2009 the school name was Vale of Catmose College. Moving to a new campus in 2011, it was renamed Catmose College.
