OF Society

The Society of Old Framlinghamians, as we know it today, was founded in 1900, and still has its founders aims at its core: to promote the interests of the School in every possible way; to help past pupils of the School to keep in touch with one another; and to find ways to promote engagement between past and present members of the Framlingham community.

It’s interesting that the Society of Old Framlinghamians founders talked about “members of the School”, rather than members of the Society, which reflects that the Society is much broader than a simple alumni organisation. One way or another, the Society has made sure to open its membership to members of staff, either as associate members or as Honorary Members to recognise long service to the College.

The Societies support for the School takes many forms: raising money through appeals; encouraging gifts and deploying bequests; and using its investment income to support prizes and scholarships. Major examples include the gift of Brandeston Hall as a living memorial to the College’s war dead in two World Wars; £220,000 in direct support for the development of the 6th Form Centre together with a major campaign amongst our wider membership; and the funding of The Fowler Pavilion through a major bequest.
