Please see the details below of former Old Balshavians. 

It would be great to hear of any more as we so easily lose touch with our successful students.

We hope that the success of these people will give the current students a sense of pride and ambition. “Aiming at excellence” is our motto to add to “non sibi sed aliis”!

Please email the enquiries@balshaws.org.uk and we would be glad to add new names.

If you find yourself on here and wish to be removed, please contact enquiries@balshaws.org.uk.

We will only put information on this site that we have found on the internet or had emailed to us.
