ALUMNI
The Old Girls' Society has existed for over 100 years as an exciting and supportive alumni community. All those who have attended the school, whether staff, pupils or parents of former pupils, are members.
OLD GIRLS' SOCIETY
The Alumni Association has a dedicated website, allowing all alumni to register their contact details, keep in touch with other alumni and foster an exclusive professional network. A fantastic way to stay connected, the website features photos and news articles, upcoming events and a career mentoring platform.
Communicating responsibly with regards to reducing impact on the environment is of paramount importance, therefore alumni communication is sent primarily via email. To receive our email updates, please register on the alumni network using the link below.
