About the Union

75 years of everyone who came before them

The Union exists for two reasons: to keep past pupils in touch with each other, and to be useful to the school. In practice that means reunions, an archive, and whatever else the committee can be useful for.

There is no membership fee and no application. If you went to Oatlands, you are a member of the Past Pupils’ Union. The only thing worth doing is making sure we can reach you.

The gallery

75 years, in photographs

Every past event has its own album, and the archive is being built up as scans come in. A good many faces are still unidentified — help us out if you recognise anyone.
