    Beyond the Oratory

    Your connection with the school doesn’t end when you leave The Oratory, it extends far beyond your physical time here. 

    We firmly believe in The Oratory Family, a community where everyone is included: pupils and their parents, Old Oratorians (OOs), former parents, current and former staff, and friends.

    Members of The Oratory Family carry their warmth and affection for the school with them long after they leave and wherever they are in the world. 

    Our Old Oratorians have followed very diverse career paths, from Lord Berkeley of Knighton (the composer Michael Berkeley), a newly appointed Privy Counsellor, CEOs of charities, military leaders, actors, sportsmen, journalists, and top businessmen. 

    The strength, cordiality, and camaraderie of the Old Oratorian community is not to be underestimated: it is a wonderful, supportive network always willing to help where they can, and truly embodies the spirit of our Founder: Cor ad cor loquitur. 

    Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
