Earlscliffe Alumni Week 2024

Earlscliffe enjoyed a whole week of Alumni activities.

The highlight the Alumni week was an Earlscliffe students versus “Old Boys” Alumni football match. For the event, we secured the 4000-capacity Folkestone Football Stadium, located just a few minutes’ walk from the Earlscliffe Main Building. It was a fantastic day of team-building, with our own football squad being challenged by ex-students from across the previous 11 years. The final score was 7-5 to the current students, but all played very well.

The entire Earlscliffe community was invited to attend the event, including teachers, House Managers, support staff, families, and friends. Children aged 10 and under also had the opportunity for a little pitch-time with a half-time penalty shoot-out competition against Mr. Peach and brave alumni students.

After the match, the alumni made the most of their trip back to Folkestone on such a sunny day with a visit to the beach.

Everyone agreed that the day was one to be cherished and that it has to become a firm fixture in the Earlscliffe annual events calendar.

These alumni events were also complemented with additional alumni-related school activities, including an excursion to London to see UAL (a popular choice of Earlscliffe students) and a pleasant stroll through the surrounding Granary Square. Guest alumni speakers shared their experiences of university life and offered advice to students considering where to apply next year and what to study.
