Old Beestonians

Old Beestonians are a varied and diverse group Yet they all share the life-long bond of being an OB (Old Beestonian)

These friendships are enduring, with OBs regularly gathering both formally and informally. Many OBs now have their own children – and grandchildren – at the school.

OBs are important to us here at Beeston. We are always delighted to hear the news and views of former pupils and welcome them to events. If you are an Old Beestonian, do pay us a visit!

Welcome from the Chair, Lottie Webster

Welcome. The OB Society was established in 2002 with the publication of the first ‘Old Beestonian’ magazine. The Society was set up by Innes MacAskill, the school’s fourth Headmaster, and Cliff Vincent, one of its iconic masters who taught P.E. between 1971 and 1995.

I am married to an Old Beestonian, have had three of our children through the school and am now enjoying my role on the LAG.  I feel a strong bond with Beeston and it is a privilege to be able to build the Old Beestonian community.

The Old Beestonian Association has three aims:

  • Maintaining links and friendships between OBs and re-establishing contact between lost friends.
  • Encouraging past pupils to stay in touch with Beeston, record their news and keep abreast of news and developments at the school.
  • Continuing to build the wider Beeston community by keeping in touch with former staff, parents and grandparents of OBs.

I very much encourage you to get in touch.

Additionally, we were proud to launch The Beeston Foundation in October 2017, which raises funds for bursaries for children who might otherwise never have the opportunity of a Beeston education (as well as raising funds for planned capital projects, beneficial to the school). If, as an OB you would like to give a donation, do get in touch.

We always enjoy your letters and emails – if you appreciate receiving and reading the OB magazine, please continue to send us your contributions and news which are invaluable for its future success – we love to hear how you are getting on.

Do visit whenever you are next in the area – and see for yourself how Beeston thrives.

Best wishes to you all,

Lottie Webster

If you are a former Beestonian, please do drop us a line or call the office. We would love to get in touch!
