Old Boys

Merchant Taylors’ Old Boys’ Association (OBA) promotes the welfare of the School, its pupils and its Old Boys, forming a connecting link between them. The OBA organise events to bring members together, facilitate mentoring and networking relationships, and assist current boys who may be in need of a bit of extra help.

The OBA plays a vital part in maintaining the lifelong connection with School and offers a number of benefits to its members:

• Careers support, mentoring and networking, wherever you are in the world.
• Great social events – dinners, networking drinks, and sports events both in School and around the world.
• Bursary support for Boys still at School, thanks to the generous donations of Old Boys.
• Donations to make your School life better – for example, the OBA will be funding the refurbishment of the Williams Hall in the coming year.
• Staying in touch with School and fellow alumni via a monthly e-newsletter, social media and twice yearly magazine, Merchants’ Tales.
• Close connections to the Merchant Taylors’ Company in London, which itself offers apprenticeships, bursary support and career opportunities.
• 50% subsidy for U25s, and those in full time education, at OBA events.
