The Martyrs

The Martyrs were founded in 1926 as a way for OSE to continue to meet, socialise and play sport once they’d left School.

The Martyrs continue to provide a wealth of opportunities for OSE to play competitive and non-competitive sport in a wide range of sports, including Badminton, Cricket, Football, Golf, Netball, Shooting, Rugby, Squash, Tennis and Triathlon, and against an array of opposition, including other school’s alumni sides, clubs and, most importantly, the School.

Pupils sign up to join the Martyrs’ constituent clubs while in their final year at School, though all OSE are welcome to join at any time. If you would like to join any of the Martyrs constituent clubs, participate in or support an event, please contact the respective Rep (below).
