The Old Edwardians

The present Association has been in existence since 1979, when Mr E.L. Osmend, on his retirement from teaching at the School for 40 years was asked by the present Headmaster if he would resurrect it.

We now have slightly more than 1,100 members who now reside in all parts of this country and various parts of the world.
