Family roots at the heart of King's Bruton

Family roots at the heart of King's Bruton...

Having spent five years running the Old Brutonian Association, prior to taking over Admissions four years ago, I realised how many familiar surnames there were amongst the current and prospective pupils. I suppose that in a school that is over 500 years old, it should have come as no surprise. At present 46 of our current pupils are the sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, nieces, nephews and godchildren of Old Brutonians, and this speaks volumes about the enduring strength of the King's community.

It also demonstrates that King's is not just an ancient institution of learning, but also where lifelong friends and memories are made. Strong ties regularly draw Old Brutonians back to visit the School, and it is wonderful that what they see today encourages them to send their own children to King's Bruton. Since “life is a journey and not a destination” (as the American, Ralph Emerson, once said), it is encouraging that these Old Brutonians appreciate that the King's education has assisted them in their journey and wish the same for their own children.
