The OA website has two main aims:

• To keep the school updated with address details for the mailings that we send out periodically
• To allow an exchange of news between OAs

Many of the OAs who have registered have written in with news of what they are doing now, and we try to keep up with information that we hear on the grape-vine.  In order to read the news items that are published on the site, it is necessary to access the protected area of the website which can be done with the aid of the password that is allocated on registration.

So, if you are reading this, we would like you to do two things:

• Register on the website if you have not already done so
• Email (or send in a letter) news that we can publish on the site (the way that the site is set up makes it impossible for anyone except us to publish news items, which ensures that no nonsense is published!)

Headmaster's Introduction

Many schools have long histories and most of those would consider themselves to have a strong heritage too. Certainly, I believe this to be the case at St Andrew’s. The long history is well documented and fascinating. The heritage remains strong because, as a school community, where we have come from remains of critical importance to us. There exists a profound interest in and respect for the precious inheritance we all share. As Headmaster I am the guardian of that heritage and I consider myself very fortunate to be able to rely on the support of countless OAs, without whose assistance my task would be so much more difficult. Your enthusiasm and continuing support help us to understand, enjoy and benefit from a genuinely vibrant heritage rather than a mere detached history.

Please do keep in touch. The OA Society is an integral part of the Androvian jigsaw and contributes strongly to our continuing success as a school.
