Since 1999 Sir Howard Stringer, OO, has provided funds for the Peter Ling Fellowship in memory of his former Laundimer Housemaster.

Peter Ling Fellows are graduates of Yale University and stay at the School for two years, teaching half a timetable and becoming fully involved in the life of the School as tutors and Games coaches.

Having come from a different educational system, these Fellows bring the best American teaching techniques to their classes, in addition to special academic skills and other interests of their own with which they can enthuse pupils.

The first Yale Fellow, Ryan Hickox, went on to take up a research post at Harvard and has stayed in touch with the School and former pupils, as have the subsequent Yale Fellows.

The majority of Peter Ling Fellows enter research posts when they return to the USA after their time at Oundle.
