Old Barnardians

Over 5,000 Old Barnardians inhabit our global network, living in more than 40 countries worldwide, and regularly stay in touch with the Development Office and OB Club.

All Old Barnardians become members of the Club when they leave the school. The school works very closely with the Club, which is run by a committee made up of volunteer Old Barnardians aged from 22 to 92. The Club Committee uses the donations it receives to support vital work, such as philanthropic noticeable gifts to the school.

The amazing network we call the Barnardian Society is the umbrella term that welcomes OBs, current parents, former parents, former and current staff and wider friends of Barney. We love to support recent leavers as they progress to university and in the first steps of a career, but we also facilitate connections for older OBs who may be seeking opportunities in business. There are numerous ways to engage in a variety of social occasions or simply get back in touch with friends from their school days and share in nostalgia.

Since 2022, we’ve been delivering a transformed calendar of regular events, including regional and international socials, dinners, and networking get-togethers, all around the world, with the Barney welcome you all know and love!

The School’s Development Office and Old Barnardians’ Club collaborate on events and initiatives to benefit the community and help support the future development of the school.

Our OBs and wider family have their own website, offering you the opportunity to share your news, register and purchase tickets for our fantastic events, offer to be a speaker for our careers department, mentor our students and much more.

We look forward to hearing from you!
