The Ashford School Association

The Ashford School Association (ASA) is the alumni society for all former pupils and former members of staff of Ashford School, Ashford Girls’ School and Friars Prep School.

The ASA exists to help its members stay in touch with each other and the School, and provides a powerful forum for contact, advice and information. Membership is free and automatic upon leaving School.

We are always delighted to hear from our members, so if you have news, a request for information, or would like to support the ASA in its activities, please get in touch with one of our contacts.
