Welcome to the Old Wymondhamians, the official link between past pupils and staff and the College.
Every former student, member of staff or Governor of Wymondham College is considered an Old Wymondhamian.
The Old Wymondhamians Committee works hard to maintain contact with all former pupils and staff and also preserve the history and heritage of the College and its previous life as a USAAF hospital in the Second World War. We organise and coordinate reunions, networking, sporting and other social events.
The ‘OWs’ also help raise much needed funds to support the College and students. Please do take a moment to join the 100 Club, where from just £5pm you will both help with fund raising and also have a chance to win some fabulous monthly prizes too. Many Old Wymondhamians are also increasingly considering giving via regular and/or one-off donations and via a legacy in their will.
If you would like to get back in touch with a friend or find out more about the events we are running, I would encourage you to add your details to the ‘Keep in touch’ page or email us at info@theoldwymondhamians.co.uk. We would love to hear from you!
Best wishes,
John Mewse (77-82) – Chair Old Wymondhamians

Give Time
Our volunteers help us to enhance the student experience and improve career prospects, bring their industry expertise and insights to the curriculum, support the alumni community, and provide valuable strategic advice and guidance. Your gifts of time and talent help students prepare for that vital next step on the career ladder.
Volunteering can also be a great way to continue your own personal and professional development, giving you an opportunity to evidence your experience, whilst honing your skills still further.
