ST EDWARD’S

YOUR OSE NETWORK The St Edward’s School Society T he St Edward’s School Society is run by OSE for OSE; it supports pupils from the moment they leave school as life-members in a community of thousands who all have one thing in common: T eddies. We have over 9000 OSE based not only in the UK but all around the world with hundreds also living in North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa and Middle East. So, wherever you find yourself, you will enjoy the benefits of being part of this vast network of OSE.

The Martyrs Matches and events over a wide range of sports are organised by the designated reps (but can also be set up by you!) throughout the year, mainly in Oxford and London but wherever a team can meet.The fearsome Rhubarb kit is available for several sports and costs are largely met. Martyrs matches are a great opportunity to play competitive sport informally, rekindle sporting friendships and meet new OSE with shared interests. Many now engage with Martyrs sports they were not involved with while at school and others dust off old boots and sticks to relive the glories that were (or might have been)!
