Welcome

A very warm welcome to the website of the Ottershaw School Old Boys' Society (OSOBS).

This site has been created for anyone who went to, or has an interest in, Ottershaw School which opened 1948 and closed 1980. The site was commissioned and paid for, and is run by the members of the Society.  You don't have to be an OSOBS  member to access most of the material on this website although perhaps if you are an Old Boy or member of staff, after browsing, you may wish to consider joining us!  

A guide to the website can be seen or downloaded by clicking here.

We are constantly  adding  more pictures from Old Boys' events but are sure many of you will have more which we would love to feature. Also we have a new archive section with pictures, documents and artifacts from the School. . If you think you have something of interest, please contact our IT Manager who will be very pleased to hear from you.  For members we also have a library featuring ,pst editions of "The Ottershaw Weekly News" and "The Gazette" and "Acorn" as well as personal documents from our members.

Several Old Boy groups exist and their details can be found  from the main menu at the head of this  page.

Every Old Boy who went to the School has access to our forums and can make comments there without further registration. In addition all paid up members of OSOBS have automatic access to our “Members Only” pages and receive our bi-annual Newsletter called The Gazette. However in order to access these additional facilities, you will need to log onto the site.

 Please Note:
On this site, "OT" is used to refer to people from the the first intake in 1948 to 1967 then "OTT" for people from 1967 to 1979, i.e. the last intake. We know that everyone in reality was an "OTT" but the society uses this convention to help identify more easily people with the same number from the early and later times of the school.
