Alleyn’s School 
The EAC is the thriving community to which Alleyn's alumni automatically belong. It nurtures lifelong relationships through events, philanthropy, clubs and societies.
The official foundation meeting of the Edward Alleyn Club was held on 18 April 1884. However the community's origins date back to 1882 when a small number of pupils from the Lower College of God's Gift formed a social club.
Today, the EAC supports and nurtures the lifelong relationship between members and the School; through social initiatives, philanthropy, clubs and societies.
All former pupils automatically become members of the EAC, which provides a contact point for many alumni and acts as a base for many activities.
The EAC also gives back to the School community through its philanthropic Alleyn Benevolent Fund that supports opportunities for students across the School.
Giving Back: Club Philanthropy
We are delighted that award-winning journalist and author Nina Caplan (Spurgeon's 1991) is the Edward Alleyn Club President for 2025/2026.
Her first column as President features in the Winter 2025 EAC magazine. In the meantime, you can learn more about Nina and her career in travel, food and wine writing in our news story, Welcoming our New EAC President.
Alongside the annual Presidency, the day-to-day operations of the EAC are overseen by Chair Paul Barber (Spurgeon's 1979) and a team of dedicated alumni and former staff.
