Seniors (former students) are very important to us and we do our best to keep in touch. We believe Seniors are amongst our greatest assets and their contribution over the years has been incalculable. The Development Department is responsible for maintaining the School’s own network of former pupils and we hope to keep Seniors informed of what is going on at Wycombe and increase their opportunities to attend events at School.
We hold regular reunions at Wycombe, together with other events such as the Carol Service at Christmas to which all Seniors are invited, and we also do our best to put long lost school friends in touch with one another.
Seniors have proved an enormous resource in terms of career advice and, indeed, inspiration to current pupils. Their experiences help to inform university choice and in the world of work our network of former students provides a great support for career opportunities.

The damp weather could not dampen the spirits of the 150 attendees of Wycombe Abbey's Seniors' Day in May. Seniors, husbands, partners, children and former staff all helped to make the day an incredible success.
Everyone was invited to attend morning Chapel, followed by coffee in Fisher Library which gave guests the chance to catch up with old friends, some of whom hadn't seen one another for years. Visits to Houses and drinks in Fisher Library gave everyone even more time to reminisce before a buffet lunch which was somewhat different to those enjoyed by Seniors from the earlier years!
Wycombe Abbey Seniors are now on Facebook! Come and join us by searching for Wycombe Abbey Seniors and become a fan of our page.

WAS is independent of School and is run by Seniors for Seniors with all pupils being given the opportunity to subscribe to the Association whilst they are still at Wycombe.
Contact is maintained by regular meetings, many of them on a regional basis, and through the School Gazette, the Seniors' Supplement and the address book which is published every five years. The Association also provides bursaries for the daughters and granddaughters of Seniors and supports the Peckham Settlement, a community charity in East London.
