i have lived for many years 100yrds from this school and have never seen this badge before.
it could have been a collar to differentiate between uppingham sch. and oakham sch. who are affiliated to the same regiment but it should be a common badge if a collar.
more research needed.
they seem to be turning up pretty regular at the moment perhaps someone raided the stores.

Thanks Bob - I just cant recall where I read the information about the badge being a collar. I'm sure it was a quote from a guy who was something to do with the school staff or an adult instructor in the cadets at Oakham school, it must have been from some years ago though as he (as supported by your post) stated that the cadets wore the Leics Regt cap badge - and from memory stated that the 'Oakham' badge was a collar.
As you quite rightly say, more research required perhaps . . .
Many thanks all
Bess
