Alumni News and Contact
We are incredibly proud of all of our ex-students, affectionately known as ‘Old St A’s’. As many of our ex-students go on to forge fantastic careers in industries such as STEM (engineering), the arts, music, drama and journalism, we invite a select group of our alumni into school each year to speak to current sixth formers during our ‘It’s MY Future’ week. We have had students visit us from the University of Edinburgh (Literature), Cambridge (Engineering) and UCL (Dentistry). Many of our subject teams also utilise these contacts, with recent visits from Art graduates, fashion designers and graphic design. We have also had ex-students return to support with teaching in the History department, whilst deciding whether to apply for a PGCE in the subject.
We are incredibly proud of these continued links and would love to build more! If you are an ‘Old St A’ and you would be interested in building links with our community, please do fill out this form with your details and we will be in touch! Please find some of our former students and what they have achieved below!

“I am currently studying Biomedical Sciences at City St George’s School of Health & Medical Sciences.

The teachers guided me through challenging subjects like biology and chemistry, ensuring I built a strong foundation, including support with personal development & I was lucky enough to be appointed one of the Head Students. I also had access to great lab facilities, which helped develop my practical skills. Overall, the encouragement and resources available gave me confidence in pursuing my degree which I am thoroughly enjoying!”

“I’m Anesa and currently studying Maths with Finance and Economics with Placement at City, St George’s University. My choice was heavily driven by the support of the Maths department and the Sixth Form team. I was supported fully throughout, both academically and personally, including in my appointment as Head Student. This helped solidify my confidence in pursuing a degree that merges analytical thinking with practical financial applications. The Sixth Form team’s guidance not only helped me identify my strengths but also encouraged me to go outside my course, looking for possible internships for my second year.”
