The Alumni & Old Boys Association

The Alumni

As the Alumni Researcher at King Edward VI School, Stratford upon Avon, my main aims are to locate as many Old Boys as possible and improve the links between the school and its former pupils.

To date I have made contact with a significant number of Old Boys who attended the School between 1930-1980 but following these dates there appears to be a “lost generation.” My aim is to encourage more to join the Old Boys’ Association.

If you are an Old Boy of the School, please help me by taking a few minutes to fill in the short questionnaire.

I would be most interested to hear of your experiences since you left K.E.S and to share memories of your time at the School.

Old Boys’ Association

As an Old Boy we would like to extend a warm invitation to you to join the KES Old Boys' Association. The Association exists to help former pupils of KES keep in contact with one another and with the school.  It has a long history and is several hundred strong.  It offers a wide range of facilities and services to its members and to the School. Members are kept in touch with the School through the annual edition of The Stratfordian as well as the more frequent newsletter.

The KESOBA has its own website www.kesoba.org.uk with details of OBA activities and links to other useful sites related to the School and the town of Stratford. Finally, there is an annual OBA dinner.  It is held in Stratford, typically in January, and represents an opportunity not only to rekindle old friendships but also to meet other Old Boys in a relaxed and convivial environment.

The Association's mission is:
to help Old Boys of King Edward VI School in Stratford-upon-Avon to keep in touch with the school, the town and each other to the mutual benefit of all.

If you are presently a member of the Old Boys' Association and have recently moved house, please inform us of your new address.

The Alumni Roll

The listing of all those boys who have attended the school, beginning in 1800, has reached 2007.  From the beginning if the 1970s, little reference was made in 'The Stratfordian' and 'The Snail', of the achievements and activities of boys: who were Prefects, House Captains and their University destinations. The Roll, is now available to see on The Archive page, and I would be most grateful for any information to help in completing the records of all boys please.
