Alumni
Bishopshalt strives to strengthen the association we enjoy with former students. A great school is often measured by the achievements of its alumni, and they serve as both inspiration and support for subsequent generations of Bishopshalt pupils. If you are ready to be part of our inspiring Bishopshalt Network of speakers we’d love to have you on board. Please contact us using the links in the sections below.

The Old Uxonians Association
Becoming a member of the Old Uxonians Association will help you reconnect with friends and memories.
Twice a year you will receive a Newsletter containing information about the school and news and articles written by former pupils. This can either be emailed to you or sent as a hard copy.
The Old Uxonians Association can also provide advice and sometimes contacts if you are planning a reunion (we always get the person’s permission before passing on their contact details).
Members of the Association get access to the online Members Only area that contains past copies of newsletters going back to at least 2004. We are also starting to build an online collection from the school archives.
