bristol grammar school, old bristolians
The Old Bristolians’ Society exists to allow former pupils and staff to maintain
contact with other Old Bristolians, and through the Society allow them to
support the work of the School. The Society is a separate body from the School
and is run almost exclusively by volunteers. The President holds office for a
year: other officers and members of the Management Committee are chosen by
election and normally stay in office for a longer period. We are always keen to
recruit new faces on to the Committee or hear from Old Bristolians prepared to
help with the running of events. In particular, we seek more involvement from
young Old Bristolians, especially females, in order to reflect the
co-educational status of the School. The BGS Foundation aims to bring long-term
additional income to the School through charitable giving. This enables the
wider BGS family to give something back so that the next generation of children
can benefit from extra resources, facilities and bursaries which could not
otherwise be afforded from fee income alone. Support comes from parents, former
parents, staff and Governors, Old Bristolians, charitable trusts and foundations
which makes a genuine difference to the life of our school. The Old Bristolians’
& Foundation Office would be delighted to hear from anyone willing to serve on
the Committee or to participate in some other way. In addition, the views of Old
Bristolians as to the type of event/activities the Society should be providing
are also welcomed.
