Five Ways Edwardians
The Five Ways Edwardians Association was founded in 1979 by Mr E.L Osmend on his retirement from teaching at the school for 40 years. The Association has more than 2000 members who reside in all parts of this country and various parts of the world!
Purpose
The Association exists to provide “the primary means by which the school and former pupils, staff and friends maintain contact for their mutual interest and benefit and continue to contribute to their school.”.
We welcome support from alumni to engage with the careers programme at the school and regularly have ex-students deliver talks on a wide variety of career sectors.
The Alumni currently have 2 co-ordinators; Sarah Froggatt who can be reached on sfroggatt@kefw.org and Sarah Guthrie who’s email is sguthrie@kefw.org
The Chair of the Five Ways Edwardians Association is Peter Grace
