WELCOME
Throughout our history our community of alumni, parents and friends of the school have helped us to build and expand a vibrant and diverse network both on the Isle of Man and across the world.
STAY IN TOUCH
One of our aims is to strengthen links between alumni and the school. By staying in touch you can hear all the great things our students are up to, as well as being connected to others in the community. Log in to the alumni portal to update your details and find old friends.
A GLOBAL NETWORK
Wherever they are in the world, all alumni are connected through the school community. This global network can provide a resource for careers advice and opportunities, as well as business contacts. Find out more about our Careers Network.
OUR SHARED HISTORY
We are proud of our rich history, woven into the history of the Isle of Man and reaching across the world. Visit our archive to learn more about our shared past.
A VISION FOR OUR FUTURE
We have ambitious aims for the school’s future. We want to continue to enhance our educational offering, update our facilities and open access to those who could not otherwise join our community. The support of our community is vital in achieving these aims. Learn more about the work of the Barrovian Foundation and find out how you can get more involved.
