OSE Survey Results 2022 Thank you to the 1,050 OSE who took the time to complete the OSE Survey. It has provided invaluable insight into events that you would like to attend and the communication channels you are keen for us to use. It has also provided the School with useful feedback on what could be improved to support our current pupils, future OSE. 15% of our alumni base responded to the questionnaire, though 57% of you opened it! Feedback on the length of the survey has been noted and it will be streamlined in future years.We will be sending a subset of these questions to OSE who left 1, 5 and 10 years ago each year to measure our evolving curriculum and support. On the back of the feedback from this year’s survey the School has already reshaped career support provided, bolstering that offered by Mr Vaughan-Fowler.

The survey found the following interesting results:

“ Alumni news and updates ” and “ Interesting OSE interviews ” are the most popular content topics

The most popular publication is the OSE magazine:

76% of respondents read it

97% of those indicate at least one platform/publication they don’t currently receive or engage with but would like to

The most popular events are age-specific reunions at School

WE ARE THEREFORE HOSTING REUNIONS FOR those who left 15 years ago(aged approx. 18-33) in London on November 17th 2022 and Leavers between 1983-1993 (aged approx. 47-57) and leavers from 1972-1982 (aged approx. 58-68) at St Edward’s, during Spring and Summer respectively in 2023.
