Aldenham
schools aim to offer an education for life and friendships forever,
providing support and a strong sense of community for both former and
current pupils - ensuring that their connection to Aldenham endures long
after they complete their education.
At Aldenham Prep Riyadh,
we’re thrilled that our students will be joining a global network of
thousands of alumni, across 150 countries. Many Aldenham alumni - known
as Old Aldenhamians or OAs - stay in touch with their school, offering a
range of invaluable benefits and opportunities, and helping to ensure
our pupils will continue to thrive long after they leave.
How Can Old Aldenhamians Help Your Child?
In
the UK, Old Aldenhamians help to support Aldenham School in many ways.
Not only do they help to mentor and guide our current pupils, offering
them talks on careers, academic subjects, and areas of general interest,
but they also coach pupils in sports and other activities. Our alumni
also often provide work experience and volunteering opportunities all
over the world, helping pupils to prepare for life after graduation and
setting them up for future success.
Many of our alumni
have gone on to achieve great success in their fields, such as
international businesswoman and television personality Baroness Karren
Brady, professional golfer Matt Wallace, the record-breaking skydiver
Adrian Nicholas - and a number of professional footballers including
Charlie Patino and Maurizio Pochettino.
A highlight in the
Aldenham UK’s school calendar is the annual OA Day. This momentous
occasion brings former pupils and staff together, to celebrate their
accomplishments and reaffirm the sense of community that Aldenham
fosters. All OAs are welcome to attend, and OA Day serves as a joyous
reminder that Aldenham is more than just a school; it is a vibrant and
enduring community. This gathering provides a platform for alumni to
reunite, reminisce, and create new connections. The day is filled with
heartfelt conversations, shared memories, and a deep appreciation for
the lasting impact of an Aldenham education.
Aldenham’s Legacy
The
global network of Old Aldenhamians is a testament to the unwavering
legacy of Aldenham, providing generations of pupils with vital support,
lifelong connections, and numerous opportunities for personal and
professional growth.
“Choosing a School which provides a holistic education in
a loving and caring environment is the best gift
a parent can give to their child.”

Dedicated teaching is at the heart of everything we do. While we help our pupils to focus on their own plans, our teachers focus on our pupils.
