  KOSA - King's Old Scholars Association

  King's Old Scholars Association is a means by which we keep in touch with Old Scholars throughout their lives. It also enables them to keep in touch with each other and it is a link through which they hear about the School's achievements. It fosters a continuing bond of friendship and loyalty between the School and its Old Scholars, Staff and Governors. This is done through various activities organised each year.

  Automatic membership of KOSA is granted to an Old Scholar who has had at least one year's enrolment in the Senior School and completed their education at King's, the Principal and present and former permanent staff.

  Membership is free as the School wishes to encourage and support KOSA, in a practical and financial way.

  A newsletter, "Horizons", is sent to Old Scholars twice each year. "Horizons" is their newsletter, therefore we encourage them to submit articles and photographs and advise us of engagements, marriages, babies and any interesting achievements or news.

  We also hope to foster networking between Old Scholars in the form of using each others expertise e.g. accounting, legal aid, printing, hairdressing.

  Through KOSA, we know our students are entering many and varied career paths. They are taking their place in our wider community ready to make a positive and valuable contribution and are well equipped to face the many challenges that life presents.
