Our alumnae are a vital part of our vibrant RMS community. Each year, our alumnae regularly return to school to give career insights and university advice to our pupils.
In addition, there is a busy calendar of alumnae reunions, networking events and opportunities to visit school and keep in touch. Whether you were a boarder in the 1940s, a recent leaver, or somewhere in between, we would love to connect with you.
If you are an alumna and you don’t already hear from us by email or post, please send us your details using the alumnae connect form. We will let you know about events that may be of interest, keep you up to date with news from the school and put you in touch with other alumnae.
We really look forward to hearing from you.
